Level Of Development
➤ What is Level OF Development(LOD) in BIM? ➜Level of completeness to which model element is developed. ➜The core to the concept is that level of development defines the content & reliability of different BIM elements at different stages or milestones . ➜Level of development(LOD) describes the minimal dimensional, spatial, quantitative, qualitative & other data included in the model element to support the authorized uses associated with that specific LOD. ➜In the AEC industry, there are consist six different level of development that is defined by the American Institute of Architects(AIA) in 2013. ➤ LOD100 (Conceptual Design):- ➜ The building 3D model is developed to represent the information on a basic level. Thereby, only conceptual model creation is possible in this stage. Parameters like area, height, volume, location and orientation are defined. ➤ LOD200 (Schematic Design):- ➜A g eneral model where elements are modeled with approximate quantities, size, shape, location and
