How can I convert Bentley i model (i.dgn) to ESRI File GDB without losing data/attribute information in ArcPro?Tried Data Interopability also, it fetches null geometry/attributes. TIA

[KSathish]

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.

Hi, Data Interoperability extension does not support .i.dgn files, due to licensing issues, please use the FME product.

Thanks bruce, is there any chance to support i.dgn format with upcoming version of Data Interoperability extension?

[BruceHarold]

Hi K Sathish, at present the licensing issues seem like a hard limit, so no, we cannot say i.dgn support is planned.  If you have Data Interoperability extension there is a cross-grade product that will add the format, see FME Desktop ArcGIS Data Interop Edition here:
