Hi Yorik,
great stuff you have!!!
I began on last monday (4,02.2019) to thinking how can i structurice my ideas and drawings between the real and virtuell world...
My documentation began here with my workroom: (sorry in german)
https://bastler-treffpunkt.de/thread-pr ... 5#pid53145
On Wednesday morning i found the solution. BIM and LOD that's it! I began to measure all the rooms and on Thursday morning the house was built virtuell:

At Thursday afternoon i began to fill the workroom with real things in there and with things i will build now. A container under the table:

After then it goes very fast! The goal was the thinking between my little world (my house) and the global word.
my world:
All the things i will build or i have builded
global world:
all the things i can buy
Also the directory tree for the files was created with this thinking.
The root directory was named 'global'
After them i create a directory 'warehouse' with things i can download. STEP's, PDF's, JPEG's and all information off any screw or what you think...
And at the same level a directory 'House_A' with all the things in it...
I can build the next house named 'House_B' with all the things in it.
I can copy and paste all the things between this houses or when i will go to the house B i can take all the parts out of the house A to the house B.
This was an easy way to build a database of all to handle all the information's, files, drawings or what you want
Yes, this is an easy way to have your own BIM and LOD...
But let us thinking a little bit more, let us thinking global

My 'filesystem-database' could be a SQL-Server... with global informations and local informations...
You can walk through this world from the greatest building or factory to every part of things and/or to all informations you will have.
Ok Yorik, tell us more from your thinking about BIM's and LOD's.
