Posts and articles about Level Of Development are so prevalent, and they can tend to be repetitive, or controversial, or somewhat tedious (or is it just me?) But recently I thought of a different way to look at LOD. What if you take the perspective of the individuals or teams who have to deal with a given generation of data? How does that relate to LOD? Here’s one way it could be expressed:
|
LOD100
|
The Client says “We want something that will maybe look a bit like this”
|
|
LOD200
|
The Architect says “OK, but here is a more realistic and developed idea of the design”
|
|
LOD300
|
The General Contractor says “Nice design, but here is something that is more coordinated and ‘buildable’
|
|
LOD400
|
The Trade Contractor says “That was close, but this is how it is actually going to get fabricated and put together”
|
|
LOD500
|
The Builder Operator says “Let’s take some of those 3D models and as constructed documents, and figure out what is actually going to be useful moving forward”
