CAD drawings are used during Level 0, but there is no sharing of the generated information models. In a few words, BIM Level 1 is focusing on the transition from CAD to 2D and 3D pieces of information. Nevertheless, it doesn’t require every side involved in the project to operate on the same 3D CAD models.
