LOD in BIM - How much should you model? | Level of Development in Revit

[@nadeem006]

Precise and needful information in hands whenever required.... Thank you 😊

Nice video. It's funny because in real life, these phases are blended together so much it's hard to say what level you are in the project. Especially with MEP and structural consultants who only now detail :) You better be ready when you turn the design over to them :)

Cool Video!! I don't have much use of the AIA, but this is actually helpful. As an Architect that works on both residential and hi-rise construction, I would almost never go past 300. Shop drawings I would NEVER produce as those should usually be made first by a manufacturer of the item you need, then you approve them per Design Intent...if I produced shop drawings (even with craft knowledge) I would be opening myself up to huge liabilities; I will draw some nice kitchen cabinets, but I would not be producing shop drawings of how to build them...the cabinet maker would.

[@nadeem006]

Absolutely right ✅️ and you are lucky because I am stuck in making shop drawings or production drawings and calculating qty for wood required in a manufacturing company specialised in kitchen cabinets and closets .... working as Technical Engineer now a days and very, very far from Designing buildings , felt like I am no more Architect .....

Thank u, Balkan❤

please make tutorial of how to make a swimming pool detail in architecture and structure🙏 thanks so much if you make this videos, because there are still few people who make video tutorials

I am studying a masters in BIM in Europe, and we have been introduced to the concept of LOIN. Do you think that eventually this way of stating the information requirements will overtake LOD? Of do uou think these both configurations can work together?

[@TD-AT]

Level of Information Need (calling it LOIN is discouraged) already has supplanted LoD and is stated as part of the ISO 19650-1 standard therefore is a necessary part of BIM as described by the ISO 19650 suite. LoD is less evolved and less useful as it focuses just on geometric representation rather than getting the right information (including non geometric) to the right people. If we're just looking at a model from a purely graphical perspective for creating plans, elevations, sections, details etc then LoD is still relevant, but that's missing the point of BIM.

[@danielpaz2348]

@TD-AT exactly, it's still good to know about LoD as a lot of people still work with it, but as you said, it only focuses on geometric information and depending on the project it can result in over-modelling.
