Level of detail for imported CAD drawings
The Level of detail field on floor attributes is taken into account during the CAD import, to filter out smaller details / items from the drawing's display and thus improve CAD Integrator performance. As the drawing display becomes leaner it is loaded and handled faster.
Level of detail is always in the drawing's unit of measurement. For example, if you fill in 0.5 and the drawing is in meters, all objects smaller than 0.5 meters will not be shown in the drawing. If all objects (for example chairs) are based on single lines, the objects will lack some lines. In general, Planon recommends to use polylines instead of single lines.

During an initial import there usually are no floors yet. In that case, a Level of detail of 0.0 is applied, which means that all drawing details are included.
All details of a CAD drawing are saved in an .ORJ file. CAD Integrator , however, displays a .SVG file with the selected level of detail, which is created during the CAD import. If you adjust the level of detail in Spaces & Workspaces , a new .SVG file is created automatically upon reactivating CAD Integrator . During a subsequent CAD import, the newly selected level of detail is automatically applied in the new .SVG file. Information on the level of details is also included at the end of the CAD import logging.
