What’s LiDAR and Why is it Relevant to Me?

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances. Essentially, it works by sending out laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the light to return after bouncing off objects in its path. This data…

What are LOD (Levels of Development) in AEC?

Levels of Development (LOD) refer to a standardized framework for defining the amount of detail and accuracy that should be included in a building information model (BIM) at different stages of a project’s lifecycle. LOD 200 vs LOD 300… Why center on LOD200 and LOD300? Because both levels can be achieved through LiDAR 3D scanning…
