GeoBIM - Add Document Models

krishnakts76

Hi, I am using GeoBIM with AGOL. I am connecting to ACC and trying to add IFC files by using the "Add Document Models" . In the Setting of "Add document Extents" I am using the Default WKID as 3997 as the IFC model is in the Dubai Local Transverse Mercator and I am adding the 3D MODELS FROM "Add Document Models (Beta)". The model is coming in the correct location in the 3D Scene Viewer. But I am not able to individually identify the elements. When I click on the elements, its identifying the IFC file as a whole and not the individual elements like windows, doors or slabs. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Hi @krishnakts76 ,

It's the expected behavior, as the Add Document Models tool aims to simplify your experience with the 3D BIM models in ArcGIS. Here in this blog post we tried to explain the use cases and criteria about selecting the correct way: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/geobim/3d-gis/transform-your-bim-workflows-two-ways-to-use-autodesk-models-in-arcgis

Add Document Models tool focuses on agility and performance. It’s optimized for fast updates—making it ideal for teams that need to visualize spatially accurate BIM content without the overhead of full model complexity.

So, you might consider publishing building scene layers for your models in case you need interaction with individual model elements.
