Creating an indoor map<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS Indoors<\/a> is an indoor GIS that enables the creation of floor-aware 2D and 3D indoor maps, indoor space planning and management, and wayfinding. Indoor GIS helps management make decisions informed by location data, increase efficiencies of day-to-day operations inside the facility, and improve the on-site experience by providing turn-by-turn directions on a digital map.<\/p>\n

The map, which forms the basis of an indoor GIS, visualizes the indoor environment: rooms, assets, people, and important points of interest, providing a common operating picture of the indoor space to all users.<\/p>\n

The map can be created using the ArcGIS Indoors Floor Plan Editor web app or by importing existing floor plan data from diverse sources into the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model.<\/p>\n

When importing the floor plan data into ArcGIS Indoors, one popular data source is Computer-aided design (CAD).<\/p>\n

However, CAD floor plan drawings that were created for architecture, engineering, or construction (AEC) purposes often have small linework gaps, misplaced text, and other conditions that can impede the data import process and affect data quality. These conditions are often difficult to detect prior to import, and they\u2019re costly to account for after.<\/p>\n

Detecting data errors with ArcGIS Indoors for AutoCAD<\/h2>\n

Esri has a solution to avoid this potential data quality impairment by checking for errors in the CAD data before it is ingested into Indoors: ArcGIS Indoors for AutoCAD.<\/p>\n

ArcGIS Indoors for AutoCAD is a new tool to Esri\u2019s free ArcGIS for AutoCAD solution. It offers diagnostic checks to help CAD users detect and locate common problematic conditions including:<\/p>\n
