I would like to publish some Sketchup models into my Portal fro ArcGIS and would like some guidance on the recommended workflow. I've... 1. Exported the 3D models from Google Sketchup to KMZ 2. In ArcGIS Pro, imported the KMZ files and ran the 'KML to Layer' GP Task on them All good so far (and even geo-referenced) Now I want to publish to Portal for ArcGIS. I'd really appreciate the recommended workflow. Thanks in advance, John

Hi Andrew, I wanted to thank you again for the help and show you the resultant model which I'm delighted with. One small question; the create scene layer package worked on the architectural and structural Revit groupings but seemed to ignore others such as pipes and electrical. Is this expected behaviour? It's no issue as i accomplished what I wanted to, but I was just curious. Thanks again, John

You got it buddy! I was adding the Revit model layers individually to my local Scene. When I added the entire Revit file as one item it created that top level item you show on your screenshot and the tool is now building my Scene layer package. Thank you so much for the help, that one was wrecking my head! I'll let u know if it publishes successfully once its built. Thanks again!!

Hey Andrew, really appreciate the help here. I'm already getting excited that this might get published soon! So I am definitely wanting to convert the whole revit file and just want to nail down the workflow for that. Based on your response I created a group layer for all the Revit layers (as shown below) and right clicked and created a layer file for the whole group. But the resultant .lyrx file still didn't work with the Create Building Scene Layer Package tool (unsupported data type). I then did a multi-select for all of the layers (Piping, Mechanical, etc) and created a layer file for that but that didn't work either. So what are the exact steps to Discipline structure and convert the whole revit file. Thanks in advance, John

Thanks for the response Andrew. So I'm probably doing something stupid here, but I've created a layer file (.lyrx) from one of my Revit categories as you suggested and I'm still getting an 'invalid data type' - see below

Colleagues, I have recently, upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 2.4 so I can use the new Create Building Scene Layer package tool to publish my Revit model as a Scene layer (in less steps). However, the GP tool just doesn't seem to accept any input datasets I point at it. I'm just selecting single layer items directly from my Revit model but just get an unsupported data type error as shown below. I tried using the 3D features to Feature Class tool to create multipatch feature class layers from my Revit model and using those as input but that didn't work either. Any advice would be really appreciated as I have a really nice 3D model to publish that only I can see at present The layers I'm selecting from my Revit model look like this... Thanks in advance, John
