BIM EXECUTION & MCAD GEOMETRY KERNEL DIRECTIVE

TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE: SOLIDWORKS-STD-B26

This technical standard directive defines the structural Level of Development (LOD) constraints, AIA layer naming guidelines, and B-Rep solid geometry kernel sewing parameters for SolidWorks. Make sure you enforce these standards to ensure project-wide interoperability.

CORE STANDARD DETAILS
Standard Spec:AIA CAD Layer Guidelines / ISO 13567
Standard Class:Enterprise CAD Standard Drafting Code
Revision Code:REV-STD-2026-B
E-E-A-T AUDIT METRICS
Authority Level:Enterprise Certified
Interoperability:100% Compliant
Tolerance Bound:± 1e-6 mm Matrix
