BIM360 Enforced Naming Standard prohibits to use ESRI_CAD.prj and ESRI_CAD.wld3 in (sub)folders

[Stefan_Thorn]

Is it possible to create a ESRI_CAD.prj/.wld3 file that follows the naming standard that is set in a BIM360 project?

Because:

In a BIM360 project the BIM manager has set the Naming Standard as default for certain folders:

Due to this settings it is not possible to copy the ESRI_CAD.prj/.wld3 files in the folders and subfolders with the v-symbol

• This would mean that for every .rvt, .dwg and .ifc file manually the .prj and .wld3 file must be created and uploaded.
• GeoBIM will not be able to georeferencing .rvt, .dwg and .ifc files

Thanks for the suggestion @Stefan_Thorn.  It's important question. We're working on a solution for this problem.

Hi @Stefan_Thorn in our December 2022 release of ArcGIS GeoBIM, we have included a new way to apply a universal projection similar to the 'Esri_CAD.PRJ' option that will meet ISO 19650 naming conventions. As long as you save the universal projection as ".UPRJ" or ".UWLD3" for world files in a folder, ArcGIS GeoBIM will recognize that as a way to project and locate all models stored within that folder. So any name before the '.uprj' will work when we search to create model boundaries.   

Here's the blog post that mentions the addition towards the middle under Improved georeferencing from Revit and IFC files: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/geobim/announcements/whats-new-in-arcgis-geobim-december-2...

Hi @Anonymous User, 

Thanks for this update! I saw the release notes before reading your message.

It is a very elegant solution for using within ISO19650 projects.
