Through ArcGIS for AutoCAD, GIS and CAD users can share information throughout an organization without costly add-on software, conversion, or complex workflows. Select the output type (DWG 2018 is the most up-to-date available).ĪrcGIS for AutoCAD is a free plug-in that allows users to access, create, edit, and share GIS data inside AutoCAD. shapefiles) that you want to convert to CAD. Select all the files of type SHP and drag them into the Map window in ArcGIS Pro.

If the name contains spaces or hyphens, substitute both characters with underscores. Save a copy for the drawing file in AutoCAD with a name that does not contain spaces or hyphens. What is difference between AutoCAD and CAD?.How do you create a shapefile in AutoCAD?.How do I export from ArcGIS to AutoCAD?.This will define gross and net area for the ‘Facilities’, ‘Levels’, and ‘Units’ layer. Then, select the floors to load into the ArcGIS Indoors layers with the ‘Floors To Import’ parameter.įinally, leverage the ‘Area Unit of Measurement’ used in the projected coordinate system. Next, select the Indoors geodatabase created earlier as the ‘Target Indoor Dataset’.įor ‘Building Name’, use the facilities common name.įor the ‘Ground Floor Name’, make sure to target the floor that is on ground level.Įxample: If basement needs to be added to the ArcGIS Indoors layers, make sure that is the ‘Ground Floor Name’ selected. Once the geoprocessing tool is open, begin filling out the parameters.įor the ‘Input BIM Floorplan Polygon Layer’, leverage the drop down to select the ‘Floorplan_Polygon’ layer.

This tool will easily batch convert Revit floorplans to ArcGIS Indoors layers. In this next step, search for the ‘Import BIM to Indoor Dataset’ in the geoprocessing pane. Running ‘Import BIM to Indoor Dataset’ Geoprocessing Tool If you are looking to learn more about projecting and georeferencing Revit building files, read this article ‘How to Georeference Revit Data in ArcGIS Pro’. Rename the 3D World file stored in the folder with the other Revit building files to 'ESRI_CAD.wld3'.
