Accurately georeferencing CAD and BIM documents in your BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud projects ensures that when you run your ArcGIS GeoBIM tools on the Tools page, the document, issues and project features appear in the correct location with the correct extent.
Georeferencing BIM documents
There are three options for georeferencing Revit documents:
Georeferencing Revit documents using shared coordinates
Follow these steps to georeference Revit documents using shared coordinates:
- Assign a coordinate system in Civil 3D.
- Link a DWG file and use shared coordinates.
- Save a coordinate system as a projection file and store it with documents in BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Georeferencing Revit documents using specified coordinates
Follow these steps to georeference Revit documents using specified coordinates:
- Use a surveyed or queried point for known location.
- Specify coordinates at a point.
- Save a coordinate system as a projection file and store it with documents in BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Georeferencing Revit documents using geographic location
Follow these steps to georeference Revit documents using geographic location:
- Specify the geographic location to use Latitude/Longitude (or Map) to define project location.
Georeferencing CAD documents
There are two options for georeferencing CAD documents:
Georeferencing CAD documents using Civil 3D WKID
Follow these steps to georeference CAD documents using Civil 3D WKID:
- Assign a coordinate system in Civil 3D to define coordinates by WKID.
- Save a coordinate system as a projection file and store it with documents in BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Georeferencing CAD documents using a projection file
Follow these steps to georeference CAD documents using a projection file:
- Select one of two ways to set the coordinate system:
- Save a coordinate system as a projection file and store it with documents in BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
