capital letter designating the discipline involved. "FP" is used for fire protection.

floor plans could be group 1, The group number is followed by a decimal point then the
sequential numbers start with "1", example FP2.1 (fire protection group 2 page 1)

number. For example 5FP4.1 (5th floor fire protection group 4 page 1).]

Which method of information gathering entails using photographs from different angles

three-dimensional model. This process takes a long time but is relatively inexpensive.

Stereophotogrammetry entails superimposing one photograph of a building over
another, creating an image that can easily be converted into a 3-D depiction. This
process requires special software and equipment.

Rectified photography is a technique for producing scalable images of building façades.

Orthophotography is a technique for aggregating digital photographs into a single,
three-dimensional image, using sophisticated computer programs.]
