Description
Symbolic:  Symbolic place-holder representing an object which may not be to scale or have any dimensional values.
Conceptual:  Simple place-holder with absolute minimum level detail to be identifiable, e.g. as any type of chair.  Superficial dimensional representation.  Created from consistent material.
Generic:  A generic model, sufficiently modelled to identify type and component materials.  Typically contains level of 2D detail suitable for the “preferred” scale.  Dimensions may be approximate.
Specific:  A specific object, sufficiently modelled to identify type and component materials.  Accurate dimensions.  A production, or preconstruction, “design intent” object representing the end of the design stages.  Suitable for procurement and cost analysis.
