title: Details matter: The influnece of the Level of Detail on the effectiveness of 3D models for planning processes
creator: Harald Hoeckner
description: Understanding conventional 2Dplans requires knowledge and interpretation skills. It has been shown that these abstract and encoded drawings often fail to deliver information effectively. Acknowledging the boundedness of 2Dplans, this research introduces 3D-visualisations as a more effective communication medium. Yet, different levels of detail (LODs) are influencing the tool’s effectiveness. This research reveals that the entire span of LODs is needed. The 3D model and its details depend highly on the context it is used in and purpose it is used for. Thus, the derivation of a standard for the use of certain LODs is not useful, yet the definition of characteristics of LODs stays important. This research introduces a co-creation process as a method to achieve a fruitful collaboration and learning process between academia, practice and civil society and a co-design process to reach a tailor-made 3D-visualisation for the purpose and context of the 3D model and planning process.
