3.1.7.6.2.2.  Level of Detail - Different Schemes

In addition to the known LOD levels high, medium and low used in Mechanical catalogs, there is another schema with the values 100 / 200 / 300 / 350 / 400 / 500 used in Architecture / BIM catalogs.

The following table shows the relation between both models:

Architecture Mechanical  
100  
  • No 3D representation

  • Representation only via 2D drawing

  • Drawing format must be 2DB

200  
  • Representation as bounding box, e.g. cylinder or cuboid

300 Low detail
  • Representation as a simple 3D model, without internal geometry, negative solids or cosmetic elements (like e.g. labels)

350 Medium detail
  • Representation as medium-detailed 3D model, simple cut-bodies are allowed

  • No cosmetic elements or labels

400 High detail
  • Representation as high-detailed 3D model, cut-bodies and cosmetic elements are allowed

500 / 600 / 700  
  • LOD stages higher than 400 are not specified from CADENAS yet
