There is a blue outline of our facilities in the viewer, even though the facilities are set to invisible. It's really ugly and it remains static even when choosing different floors that have smaller footprints than the facility. We should be able to turn this off.

Have you considered modifying your facilities boundary to only show the outer perimeter of your facility?  As you show it, the boundary seems really jagged and not really representative.  If you cleaned it up it might not be such an eyesore with the blue line.  

Just a thought.

We have the same issue here.

our buildings are connected and imbricated differently on several floors, meaning there might be overlaps e.g. between a ground floor of one of the buildings and the basement floor of the connected one.

I have considered editing the facility footprints, but this doesn't really solve the problem:

- Every manual change in the data makes automated updates more complex (especially when working with BIM files). The BIM to Indoors Dataset-Tool does not "dissolve" and "erase holes" automatically.

- Levels, units and details may be "outside" the footprint or building footprints still overlap when the bounding polygon of the facility includes all features

What would be the best practice in this case? Is it allowed to have features outside the facility polygon?

Thanks!

Yes, we could clean it up, but it would be a ton of busy work. I feel like we should have total control of how this data is displayed, or not in this case. The facilities and levels geometry is only for the information model and zoom scale, and not at all for display.
