What is Lod in Revit?

BIM Level of Development (LOD) is an industry standard that defines how the 3D geometry of the building model can achieve different levels of refinement, is used as a measure of the service level required.

Is Tekla similar to Revit?

Tekla is compatible with Microsoft Windows operating system and is CAD & BIM software. Revit also has compatibility with the Microsoft Windows operating system. It was developed by Teklafor performing detailed structural design of steel or concrete and formerly known by Xsteel name.

What are LOD models?

LOD stands for level of detail, and it’s the process of making less detailed versions of your models that are viewed when they’re further away from the camera. This lowers the strain on the computer allowing it to render more objects while maintaining a high frame rate.

Why is LOD important in BIM?

LOD makes it easier to define a standard for contractors who must take care of BIM execution. At the same time, design managers can explain the requirements at various levels of the design process to the teams in a better way. With the help of LOD, BIM models become more accurate.

Can Tekla import Revit model?

With Tekla Structures version 2018i or older you cannot import . rvt files. The Revit model needs first to be exported as an IFC file. The IFC can then be imported in Tekla Structures as a reference model, and the reference model objects can be converted to native Tekla Structures objects.

What does LOD 100 mean?

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 symbols and the masses to signify an element’s existence. At LOD 200, the elements are partially defined by outlining its approximate quantity, size, shape, and location.
