LOD in BIM, What Is It? How it is going to add value to your Construction Projects
Introduction Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation is consequently challenging, challenges include unstructured data and processes that often lead to time and cost overruns. Having clarity on up to what level of geometry has to be modeled and how much information should include plays an important role in any project which directly affects the time and cost. At this point, LOD comes into the picture, gives clarity, clears many doubts, and sets standard expectations. What is LOD? Level of Detail or Level of Development (LOD) is a theoretical concept to support model development. The idea is that you attach a LOD status attribute to objects in conjunction with standardized reusable checklists. Thus you can, with increased certainty, guarantee a certain quality of information at a given point. LOD differs between geometry and properties. A model can be well developed through geometry without having much information concerning the properties of the model. In ...
