Title: Beam numbering scheme

Sorry everyone...I'm sure this topic is covered somewhere but I can't get the search function to work.
What's the best way to number a frame before dismantling? Posts, ties, purlins, braces, sill, etc. I need to completely document each joint before a complete dismantling.
Thanks!
Bill

Is it a Scribe frame or Square ruled ?

It may already be numbered, and if possible I always like to use original system. It adds interest and the sense that moving the frame is just part of a continuum in its history.
