ArcGIS Indoors Details Feature Layer Doesn't Filter between Different "Facilities"

[RolihFerdinand]

I have been using the Import Floorplan To Indoors Geodatabase to add the floors for a 5 story building. I am trying to sperate the different utilities CAD drawings in the building as their own "Facility" (i.e Arch, Mech, Elec, Plumbing, etc). There was no issues running the tool for the first 5 floors of the architecture drawings. The issue occurred when I tried to run the tool again for the Mech drawings. After running the tool the details layer wont filter out the Mech layer when using the "Indoors Floor Aware" Filter. Any ideas what the problem would be?

Assuming the rest of the Details features work with the floor-widget, I'd recommend reviewing the LEVEL_ID attribute values of the new Mech Layer features to see if they differ from the rest of the data.

Essentially, the LEVEL_ID attribute values in the Details feature class should match the corresponding floor feature in the LEVELS feature class.

Thanks for the response. This is how I was attempting to format the excel template. I have attached it to my response. To bring you up to speed, the site is labeled "EC", the facilities are labeled "EC.NTS.A/MD/MP" for Architecture, Mech Duct, & Mech Pipe. I have separate CAD files for each floor and each utility type.  To make things easier for myself, I used all of the same CAD layer names across all of my CAD Files (i.e. EC.NTS.A.DOOR, EC.NTS.MD.Facility). Is there a chance that this is also creating an issue?

Hey there.
I reviewed the configuration table. You went above and beyond with the CAD drawing layer naming conventions. 🙂

The (most likely reason why) the Details feature class is not working with the rest of the floorplan polygons;

1. You added+named drawing layers with hierarchical site-facility-floor levels into the CAD.
2. Items listed under Details inherit the LEVEL_ID you've designed inside the "Level Properties" config tab
3. In this case, the Details Features would have "EC.NTS.A.L1.EC.NTS.A.DOOR" as the attribute value.
This may be causing the ArcGIS Pro to be a bit confused reading the attribute values to work with the rest of the layers.

In summary, you don't need to designate Site-Facility-Level attribute nomenclatures inside the original CAD layers. Those are defined in Facility Properties, Level Properties, and Source File tabs inside the xls file.

As long as the CAD layer names are consistent across your portfolio (A-DOOR, A-WALL, A-DUCT, etc.) those should work.

Duplicate the current Details layer -> Remove the repeated characters inside the features -> "EC.NTS.A.L1.A.DOOR" See if that rectifies the issue.

Thanks alot for all of your help. I was able to determine the issue. It is as you stated in your response I was making the program do double the work with all the extra text in the "Details" labels. Also the main reason seems to be that the Indoors filter tool doesn't fully differentiate between Faculties, because I tried to have 3 different "Facilities" buildings on one footprint. ArcGIS Pro would filter the floors for the selected building but it would still keep the first floor of the other faculties. (I.e mech duct vs mech pipe). My fix to this was that I had to have one main "Facility" Building (EC.NTS), then I had to just separate the different utilities into specific floors levels instead.

Hello @RolihFerdinand .. would like to know if you could get the Details to filter as expected for the Mech facility.
