I am a new user of ArcGIS Pro, so I hope to explain my problem clearly. When trying to import an IFC file into ArcGIS Pro, I would like to assign it a proper coordinate system. After adding a folder from which I am going to import the file in the Catalog pane, I cannot access its 'properties' as there is no such option. In every tutorial video I have watched, people can access the properties of their layer while still in the Catalog pane and not in the Contents pane. In the screenshot, you can see my available options.
What version of ArcGIS Pro are you using?
ArcGIS Pro 2.8.8
Arcgis Pro 2.8.8
That is a quite old version. I guess the tutorials you are using use a newer version of Pro.
Here are some instructions on how to georeference an IFC in Pro 2.8: Georeference BIM data—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
Thank you for the tutorial, it's always some progress. My project already has the correct coordinate system and units assigned. As far as I know, the IFC file also has the coordinate system defined, but when I add it to the 3D composition, nothing is displayed. However, when I add it to the 2D composition, I can see the overhead projection.
Can it be that it is placed below ground in the 3D view?
There is such a possibility, but I am not able to confirm it. When I try to use the "Zoom to Layer" option, nothing changes, the view remains the same.
Hello @jankowalski1997
Pro 2.8.8 does not supports ifc . You will need to upgrade to 2.9 or newer
