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.
