It signifies the degree to which different members of the team can rely on information associated with an element.  \nThe LOD specification helps designers define the inherent characteristics of the elements in a model at different stages of development. The clarity in illustration gives depth to a model, signifying how much and at which level someone should rely on a model’s element.  \nUsing LOD, designers and engineers can clearly communicate with other professionals who will be using the model further about the usability and limitations of a model. LOD specifications were designed to standardize the use of the LOD framework and use it asan efficient and collaborative communication tool.  \nLevel of development (LOD) is a set of specifications that gives professionals in the AEC industry the power to document, articulate and specify the content of BIM effectively and clearly. Serving as an industry standard, LOD defines the development stages of different systems in BIM. By using LOD specifications, architects, engineers and other professionals can clearly communicate with each other without confusion for faster execution.  \nThe Origin of LOD  \nLOD was first introduced by the American Institute of Architects in 2008 when it defined five different levels of development to define the detailing levels in a BIM model. But the concept of LOD is present much before that. The first instance of LOD usage can be traced toa construction analysis software company, Vicosoftware, which made use of LOD-like system to associate digital models with the cost of a project. The company made all the parameters and details associated with a digital model accessible for everyone at various stages of the design process.  \nLevel of Development vs. Level of Detail  \nLOD is usually interpreted as Level of Detail instead of Level of Development. This Specification uses the concept of Level of Development. There are important differences.  \nLevel of Detail is actually what proportion detail is enclosed within the model element. Level of Development is the degree to which the components’specification, geometry, and attached information have been thought through – the degree to which project team members may depend on the information when using the model.  \nIn essence, the Level of Detail can be thought of as input to the element, while the Level of Development is a reliable output.  \nLOD and Design Phase  \nThe LODs don’t seem to be outlined deliberately by design phases. Rather, design phases completion, as well as anyother milestone or deliverable, can be described through the LOD language. There are several important reasons for this approach:  \n1) The first reason is that there is no detailed standard available for the design phase. Earlier architects have created standards but existing within an organization. The standards differ from one organization to another, and it can even differ within a single organization according to the requirements of a project.  \n2) Building systems progress from concept to precise definition at different rates, so at any given time different elements will be at different points along with this progression. At the completion of the Schematic Design phase, for example, the model will include many elements at LOD 200, but will also include many at LOD 100, as well as some at LOD 300, and possibly even LOD 400.  \nFundamental Definitions Associated with LOD  \n• In the current context, there are six different levels of development that are defined by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) .  \n• According to AIA, LOD outlines the design requirements at each stage. At LOD 100, which is the pre-design stage, the model consists of 2D symb","cbCais181amHwGjK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais181amHwGjK","pdf",1584542,14,"English","# What is Level of Development (LOD)?\n## Origin of LOD\n## Level of Development vs. Level of Detail\n## LOD and Design Phase\n## Fundamental Definitions Associated with LOD\n## Capability of BIM Model According to LOD level","[{\"question\":\"What does Level of Development (LOD) specify in BIM?\",\"answer\":\"LOD specifies how an element’s geometry and attached information develop across project stages.
