Error 180161 when loading CAD File

Hello,

I'm trying to load CAD files into ArcGIS Indoors using the CONFIG_CAD_Indoors_Template.xlsx file delivered with ArcGIS Pro 3.1.2.

When I launch the Toolbox Import Floorplans To Indoors Geodatabase I get an error 180161 with the following message:

It seems that the Excel file is not configured correctly. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Error information;

180161: Level Properties sheet cannot have SOURCE_PATH column.—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

I wonder if you're using an outdated Excel configuration sheet?

The attached Excel should work with Pro 3.1.2.

SOURCE_PATH is now under the 'Souce Files' tab.

Hi @OlivierTravaglini, Can you verify that values in the following two fields match between sheets in the configuration file:

1. Source Files sheet's LEVEL_ID column
2. Level Properties sheet's LEVEL_ID column

Each LEVEL_ID field value in the Level Properties sheet should correspond to a matching LEVEL_ID field value in teh Source Files sheet. If the tool doesn't find at least one match it throws the error that you encountered.

Hi @Jinho_Kang Thank you for your answer, but I'm using the same Excel template as you have send.

Hello Franck

Thank you for your reply, which enabled us to take things a step further.
Unfortunately we still have an error message.
I've put the Excel file, the logs and screenshots, and the two CAD files in the attached .zip file.
The CAD file doesn't contain any labels. Could this be the problem?
For your information, we're in Switzerland, the projection file is not WGS84 but CH1903+ LV95 and the CAD file only contains data for one floor (4th) of a building.

Hi @OlivierTravaglini, Thanks for attaching the sample data, very helpful! This looks like another small configuration issue. Looks like while you inlcuded A-DOOR in the OPENINGS column, you didn't include them in the DETAILS column. A couple notes--

Since you aren't using the UNIT_LINES column and instead have closed polylines that represent your units, you can remove A-DOOR from the OPENINGS column.
Add A-DOOR and any other features you'd like to bring in as polylines (eg, A-WALL, A-FURN, etc) to the DETAILS column.

Here's some additional information on the Excel spreadsheet and what each column should contain.

You may also be interested in knowing that we are currently developing a new tool to import CAD to the Indoors model that will remove the requirement for the Excel spreadsheet altogether.

Hi @SFrank Many thanks for your explanation. Everything works fine now.

Best regards

For anyone here troubleshooting, this worked for me. I was copying and updating a previous CAD config file when importing to Indoors GDB and forgot to update my Id's in the Level Properties sheet. I was getting the same error message (180161) but my config file did not have a SOURCE_PATH column in the Source Files sheet, so I figured the error message was incorrect.

I updated my Level Properties sheet to match the Source File sheet and everything worked as expected.
