Floor plan file formats supported for Indoors use.

AbhyanshuGupta

Hi,

I was working on ArcGIS Indoors and have used a .dwg CAD file as a floorplan data. I wanted to ask which all floor plan data files other than a dwg file can we use. Like we have '.dxf' or a '.rvt' (BIM) files and if we can use these files in ArcGIS indoors how can i use them for creating floor aware maps using ArcGIS Pro? Are the tools and process similar to that we follow for dwg files or is it different from that?

not sure about dxf, the https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/indoors/import-cad-to-indoor-dataset.htm tool (available in 3.2) seems to require dwg or dgn, you probably have to convert the dxf. Please correct me, experts 😉
