Introduction<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before ArcGIS Pro 2.7, users were unable to leverage a geoprocessing tool to convert Revit floorplan data to ArcGIS Indoors layers. With the release of ArcGIS Pro 2.7, Esri incorporated a licensed ArcGIS Indoors geoprocessing tool called ‘Import BIM to Indoor Dataset’ to facilitate indoor GIS delivery for users to import their Revit data into the ArcGIS Indoors geodatabase.<\/p>\n

Purpose<\/span><\/h3>\n

To ensure a successful conversion of Revit floorplans to ArcGIS Indoors, the Revit building files need to be evaluated.<\/p>\n

Throughout this article, one will learn how to evaluate Revit building files as a prerequisite to converting to ArcGIS Indoors floorplans.<\/p>\n

Steps for Evaluating Revit Floorplans in ArcGIS Pro:<\/u><\/h3>\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this first step, open the folder that is storing the Revit building files. Ensure each building is stored in a single Revit file containing the necessary floorplans for data evaluation.<\/p>\n

The data owner cannot have floorplans for a building stored in separate Revit files, nor can multiple buildings be stored in a single Revit file.<\/p>\n

If there is uncertainty about whether floorplans are stored inside the Revit building files, it will be verified in the next step.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1065511,"id":1065511,"title":"MultiplefilesforRVT","filename":"MultiplefilesforRVT.png","filesize":14978,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-indoors\/data-management\/how-to-evaluate-revit-floorplans-for-arcgis-indoors\/multiplefilesforrvt","alt":"Floorplans Stored in Building .rvt File","author":"10442","description":"Each Revit file stores the floorplans for that building.","caption":"Each Revit file stores the floorplans for that building.","name":"multiplefilesforrvt","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1065301,"date":"2020-11-23 22:53:35","modified":"2020-12-01 16:42:25","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":657,"height":200,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":141,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","medium_large-width":657,"medium_large-height":200,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","large-width":657,"large-height":200,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","1536x1536-width":657,"1536x1536-height":200,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","2048x2048-width":657,"2048x2048-height":200,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","card_image-width":657,"card_image-height":200,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MultiplefilesforRVT.png","wide_image-width":657,"wide_image-height":200}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

In ArcGIS Pro, the user will connect the folder storing the Revit files.<\/p>\n

Once the folder is connected, verify that the Revit files store the \u2018Floorplan\u2019 dataset.<\/p>\n

Add the Revit file sub-layers ‘Floorplan_Polygon’, ‘Floorplan_Polyline’, and ‘Footprint’ to the maps contents.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1067181,"id":1067181,"title":"BIM Files required","filename":"BIM-Files-required-1.png","filesize":24947,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/BIM-Files-required-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-indoors\/data-management\/how-to-evaluate-revit-floorplans-for-arcgis-indoors\/bim-files-required-2","alt":"BIM file dataset used for conversion to ArcGIS Indoors","author":"10442","description":"Check the connected folder for the 'Floorplan' BIM file dataset.

Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the Revit file data layers are added to the maps contents, open the attribute table for the \u2018Floorplan_Polygon\u2019 layer.<\/p>\n

Analyze the \u2018Category\u2019 field to verify the Revit data contains \u2018Floors\u2019 and \u2018Rooms\u2019.<\/p>\n

If the field only shows \u2018Rooms\u2019, the dataset lacks floors needed to convert into the ArcGIS Indoors ‘Levels’ layer. If the field only shows ‘Floors’, the dataset is unable to identify rooms to convert into the ArcGIS Indoors ‘Units’ layer. As mentioned above, make sure the field contains both ‘Floors’ and ‘Rooms’.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in the same attribute table, verify that the ‘RoomName’ and ‘RoomNumber’ fields contain data.<\/p>\n

These fields are important in the data conversion process, as they will fill in the ‘Use Type’ and ‘Unit ID’ fields in the ArcGIS Indoors layers.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1067291,"id":1067291,"title":"Category Field Validation","filename":"Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1.png","filesize":341777,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-indoors\/data-management\/how-to-evaluate-revit-floorplans-for-arcgis-indoors\/floorplan_polygon-layer-2","alt":"Category Field Validation","author":"10442","description":"Verify that the Category's Field for both 'Rooms' and 'Floors' are attributed.","caption":"Verify that the Category's Field for both 'Rooms' and 'Floors' are attributed.","name":"floorplan_polygon-layer-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1065301,"date":"2020-11-25 20:36:41","modified":"2020-12-01 17:13:55","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2487,"height":1456,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1.png","medium-width":446,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":450,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1.png","large-width":1845,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1-1536x899.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":899,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1-2048x1199.png","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1199,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1-794x465.png","card_image-width":794,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Floorplan_Polygon-layer-1-1845x1080.png","wide_image-width":1845,"wide_image-height":1080}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1067271,"id":1067271,"title":"RoomName and RoomNumber","filename":"RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","filesize":233942,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-indoors\/data-management\/how-to-evaluate-revit-floorplans-for-arcgis-indoors\/roomname-and-roomnumber-3","alt":"Verify RoomNames and RoomNumbers field have data","author":"10442","description":"Verify that the 'RoomNames' and 'RoomNumbers' Field contain attributed data.","caption":"Verify that the 'RoomNames' and 'RoomNumbers' Field contain attributed data.","name":"roomname-and-roomnumber-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1065301,"date":"2020-11-25 20:29:31","modified":"2020-12-01 17:13:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1918,"height":891,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":216,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":357,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","large-width":1918,"large-height":891,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2-1536x714.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":714,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","2048x2048-width":1918,"2048x2048-height":891,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2-826x384.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":384,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RoomName-and-RoomNumber-2.png","wide_image-width":1918,"wide_image-height":891}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
