Esri Services Appointments: Indoors Data Readiness
When leveraging the geographic approach in your organization’s day-to-day operations, data errors can introduce unacceptable risks and unplanned costs. To ensure our users are well-prepared, we are offering one-on-one appointments with an Esri expert to get insights into the overall health of your data’s quality. This is an excellent opportunity to receive specific feedback and advice from our knowledgeable team.
Are you interested in getting your floorplan data into ArcGIS Indoors? During your appointment, our Indoors subject matter experts can review your CAD floorplan data to check the quality of the file for conversion to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. Some of the conditions we look for are standard layer definitions, closed polylines, and proper annotation placement. You can get answers to questions such as, does my CAD file meet minimum requirements to convert immediately or does it require some updating?
Be sure to sign up to secure your spot at the event by choosing “data health check” appointment type and submitting the form. An Esri representative will then reach out with details.
