The present invention involves building sheets with a plurality of grooves
indented into a surface of the building sheet to provide a guide for
cutting the building sheet along the grooves. Preferably, the grooves are
arranged in a regularly repeating pattern and are spaced apart by a
standard unit of measurement in order for a cutter to accurately size the
building sheet to a precise dimension. A simple scoring knife is
preferably used to score the sheet along the grooves, without the need
for a straight edge, and the sheet is broken by simply bending the sheet
of along the score mark. The grooves are preferably provided at a depth
into the surface the sheet such that they do not substantially decrease
the strength of the sheet or affect off-groove scoring. Thus, a score
mark can be made between or across grooves without deflection of the mark
into a groove and without breakage of the sheet along a groove when the
sheet is bent.
