Drawings satisfy specBIM requirements

BIM digital content is developed to the AEC industry standards at various stages of the design

process.

The Level of Development (LOD) is a reference to specify with a high level of clarity the content and reliability of (BIMs) at various stages in the design and construction process. The LOD Specification utilizes the basic LOD definitions developed by the AIA for the AIA G202-2013 Building Information Modeling Protocol. It defines and illustrates characteristics of model elements of different building systems at different Levels of Development. This clear articulation allows model authors to define what their models can be relied on for, and allows downstream users to clearly understand the usability and the limitations of models they are receiving” – as described on BIMForum website.

Within this context, Dextall Studio has built all of its digital content to the highest level of detail, allowing the utilization of Revit’s LOD parameters to control the visibility of various objects within 3 categories (High, Medium, Fine) depending on the visibility settings of each view within Revit.

Utilizing Dextall Studio’s BIM content results in the following benefits:

• To help teams, including owners, to specify BIM deliverables and to get a clear picture of what will be included in a BIM document deliverable

• To help design managers explain to their teams the information and detail that needs to be provided at various points in the design process

• To provide a standard that can be referenced by contracts and BIM execution plans
