Abstract

CAD To GIS Conversion For Facility Management Using Model Builder.
Track: Facilities Operations and Maintenance
Authors: James Walker

Garland ISD has refined our CAD data and a workflow for GIS conversion. Our facilities department uses the resulting floor plan maps to conduct building usage analysis, digitize asbestos abatement records, and create maps used for renovation and expansion planning. Portions of the data are shared with other departments as needed. We will go through CAD data requirements, georeferencing techniques and an outline of our conversion workflow, as well as examples of how we use the results in GISD.
