Steel detailers work at nearly the final level of development; LOD 400. That means the structural steel model is fully specified down to the nuts and bolts, and it is ready for fabrication and construction. This is just a matter of terminology – detailers have been documenting at this leve...
These tools would be used to develop LOD 400 and above in most cases and would be used for developing fabrication-level documents for contractors in most cases.Figure 1: Advanced Steel – Detailed ConnectionsHaving tools to model the intricate pieces and parts is one thing, but the ability to...
In addition,LOD 500is not covered further, as there would be no geometrical difference between it and LOD 400. Moreover, the usage of the “levels” for alphanumerical information in volume 2 has been replaced with a schedule of required properties against different project stages or milestones,...
