Choosing a setting
How BIMIT 100, 200 and 300 differ — level of development, turnaround, and how each is produced.
BIMIT comes in three settings. They all start from the same scan of the same building; what changes is how deep the model goes, how it is produced, and how long you wait for it.
The three settings side by side
| Setting | Level of development | Turnaround | How it is produced |
|---|---|---|---|
| BIMIT 100 | LOD100 | Minutes | Automated |
| BIMIT 200 | LOD200 | Hours | Automated |
| BIMIT 300 | LOD300 | Days | Architect-assisted |
BIMIT 100 — LOD100, in minutes
The massing view of the building: where the floors are, where the walls run, how the spaces divide. Production is fully automated, which is why it comes back in minutes rather than on a schedule. Order it when you need something to think with today, or to see what the scan actually captured before committing to more.
BIMIT 200 — LOD200, in hours
The same building carried further, with elements resolved to generic types rather than placeholders. Still automated end to end, so it arrives in hours. This is the common choice for planning, space management and early design work.
BIMIT 300 — LOD300, in days
The deepest setting, and the only one an architect works on. Automated production does the first pass; a licensed architect then reviews and corrects the model, which is why BIMIT 300 is measured in days rather than hours. Order it when the model has to be relied on downstream — for documentation, coordination, or handing to a design team.
A higher setting adds detail and scope. It does not move the model closer to the scan — every setting is built to the same measured tolerance. See Accuracy and Level of Development.

You are not locked in. If a BIMIT 100 model shows you the building needs more depth, order a higher setting from the same scan rather than rescanning.
