SE333-1: Structural Level of Detail Model in Revit®: When to Draw the Line and Where to Model It!
Session: SE333-1
Title: Structural Level of Detail Model in Revit®: When to Draw the Line and Where to Model It!
Instructors: Will Ikerd with Brenda Ikerd
Course Description: This class will provide an in-depth discussion of the level of detail (LOD) of structural models at different stages in a building life cycle: design, construction and ownership. We will consider the new American Institute of Architects® (AIA) BIM Protocol Exhibit E202™, which defines models on a scale of 100 to 500. We will discuss how structural models are used by architects, mechanical engineers, construction managers, sub-contractors and fabricators. Most importantly, the class covers how each of the stakeholders use structural models differently and need different content. We will demonstrate how the newly issued Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) LOD BIM (authored by the speaker) can be used to define team expectation of what should be modeled. We will show practical examples and effective approaches for resolving challenges using the SEI LOD model as an early BIM planning tool.
