We have BIM data in bentley i model format (i.dgn). Need to use that data in GIS analysis, so tried to convert that data in ArcGIS Geodatabase featureclass. Used Data interoperability tool in both application Desktop and PRO, results in null attribute and geometry. Any one faced and solved the same problem kindly guide me. Thanks in advance.

It's definitely possible, check out this video from FME for some tricks and tips to get started ( MicroStation DGN: How to Integrate CAD and GIS  ).  FME Workbench and the Data Interop are comparable for what you're doing.  You may need to expose additional attribute or use some different parameters on your reader in order to get at all of the underlying attributes.
