Abstract

Automating Floor Plan Data Movement to ArcGIS
Track: Facilities Operations and Maintenance
Authors: Steve Grisé

Through a series of projects where Vertex3 has successfully moved construction drawings from CAD/BIM systems into ArcGIS, a pattern for an automated approach has emerged. This presentation will provide a pragmatic method for setting up ArcGIS for AutoCAD drawings for easy movement into ArcGIS using ArcPy and the Data Interoperability Extension powered by FME. Useful for the management of large buildings, this approach will be demonstrated using specific examples of university campuses.
