Ensuring the quality of your indoor map<\/h2>\n

The foundation of an indoor GIS is creating a visual representation of the indoor environment and spatial data through indoor maps. To create an indoor map powered by ArcGIS Indoors, you can use several data sources including CAD (Computer-aided design) files, BIM (Building Information Modeling) files, PDF files, and even site scans that capture LiDAR or 3D meshes of building interiors.<\/p>\n

As with any project, data quality is key when implementing an indoor GIS, so keeping your floor plan data accurate, complete, and up to date is paramount.<\/p>\n

One way to ensure that is to make the source data, like CAD or BIM files, the authoritative source for floor plan line work and perform update loads of this source data into the geodatabase whenever there are changes.<\/p>\n

However, what if the turn-around time to get updates from CAD and BIM and then load them into the geodatabase cannot meet the timeline of the business needs for the data?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Simplified and faster floor plan editing<\/h2>\n

To help address this, ArcGIS Indoors<\/a> will offer a new web-based, map-centric application to create and modify floor plan data. Its key benefit lies in its user-friendly experience, enabling operations staff to take direct control of managing and maintaining their floor plan data outside of ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n

This new application is called Floor Plan Editor and releases to BETA<\/a> this July.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2019142,"id":2019142,"title":"MergeFeatures (1)","filename":"MergeFeatures-1.gif","filesize":3560669,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-indoors\/indoor-gis\/arcgis-indoors-floor-plan-editor-beta-is-live\/mergefeatures-1","alt":"ArcGIS Indoors Floor Plan Editor helps merge units on the map","author":"9212","description":"","caption":"Merging units in the web-based Floor Plan Editor","name":"mergefeatures-1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1997812,"date":"2023-07-06 13:36:59","modified":"2023-07-06 13:37:53","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1045,"height":609,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","medium-width":448,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":448,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","large-width":1045,"large-height":609,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","1536x1536-width":1045,"1536x1536-height":609,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","2048x2048-width":1045,"2048x2048-height":609,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1-798x465.gif","card_image-width":798,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MergeFeatures-1.gif","wide_image-width":1045,"wide_image-height":609}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
