WHAT IS L.O.D? UNDERSTANDING LOD REQUIREMENTS AND THE IMPLICATIONS TO YOUR MODEL As Revit users, we are all familiar with creating 3D models, and producing the 2D documentation required for our discipline. When working on projects, we often have to share our models and information with other design disciplines in order to work collaboratively. We all need each other to provide correct, accurate and reliable model elements at different stages of a project. Level of Development (LOD) is a scale used to show the reliability of specific model elements at different times during model development. T ..read more
