Interplay between ArcGIS Indoors and Utility Network

Hello,
This might be a dumb question, but our organization has both ArcGIS Indoors as well as the Utility Network in our future. Indoors is obviously 3D enabled but so is the UN (or can be). We are wondering if there is any interplay between these two schemas. For example, if we have Indoors, can we also show our 3D UN data and have that UN data also be floor aware? Can data be in both schemas? We are struggling to understand what ESRI tech stack should be in play when modeling utilities that are inside buildings. We are about to do a massive data collection campaign of our vertical facilities, and I would love to know if there is something we need to be collecting in order for our UN assets to be floor aware (if that is possible).

Hi,

Practically any data can be floor-aware, you just need to add level id field to your layer. You do not need any other change on the schema.

UN also supports 3D but, converting to 3d is critical point. You may need a lot of modification on data. 

We have been working with 3D indoor UN data for about 15 years, and I can say that the most challenging part is data curation.
