Problem with the phases and information of a Project

RuiMatos

So, when I export a model from Revit to IFC and then forward that file to ArcGIS Pro, it only takes what is visible in the view and the information I want.

But when I try to export directly from Revit to ArcGIS Pro, I don't have any control over the phases of a project, and it shows all elements included in the model, even the ones that are demolished. Also, with this method, it sends all the parameters included in the project to ArcGIS Pro. Is there a way to control the phases in ArcGIS, or the Revit model needs to be cleaned to avoid this problem? Also there is a way to control the parameters exported??

ArcGIS Pro’s direct-read Revit workflow (adding an .rvt as a BIM file workspace) doesn’t have an ArcGIS setting to “apply Revit phases” (for example, hide Demolished) the same way a Revit view/IFC export can, and it also doesn’t provide a simple “only export these parameters” switch for the BIM file workspace layers.

What you can do in ArcGIS Pro instead:

• Filter out demolished (phase) content in ArcGIS Pro after you add the RVT:
  • Use a Definition Query (or selections) on the relevant discipline/category layers, based on any available phase-related fields that come through from the RVT. (Field availability can vary by layer/category and authoring.)
• Reduce parameters only after conversion:
  • If you convert BIM layers to a geodatabase/feature classes, you can then drop fields you don’t want (or create a “published” output with only required fields).

If your goal is authoritative “what’s visible in this view / phase” export, that control is typically best handled in Revit prior to bringing it into ArcGIS (similar to what you’re seeing with IFC/view-based export).
