Create ArcGIS GeoBIM apps

You can create apps to connect and visualize web maps, web scenes, and georeferenced BIM 360 project data.

Note:

See User role and feature access documentation before you create an app.

1. On the project's Apps page, click the Create New drop-down arrow and choose the type of app to create.
   • Viewer—View documents, issues, schedules, and BIM projects.
   • Issues Dashboard—View documents, issues, schedules, and BIM projects, and interact with features using a dashboard.

   The App Editor page appears.

2. Provide a name for the app in the text box in the upper left of the App Editor page.
3. Choose a theme for the app in the Theme panel.
4. Optionally, click Customize and customize the chosen theme.
5. Optionally, click Edit Header Image to upload a header image or provide a URL to the image you want to use for the app's header.
6. In the Source section, click Select Map and choose the web map to which you added links on the Links page.
7. Click Done to return to the Apps Editor page.

   If you own the web map or scene, missing layers are added to the map and you are asked to save the map or to save a copy of the map with the added layers. You can also click Cancel to choose a different map.

   If you don't own the web map or scene, missing layers are added to the map and you are asked to save a copy of the map with the added layers. You can also click Cancel to choose a different map.

8. Optionally, repeat steps 6 and 7 to add a web scene.
9. If you added a web map and a web scene, click the map thumbnail on the lower left of the map to switch between the web map and web scene previews.
10. Optionally, click Custom in the Initial View section and click Modify to set the map's initial zoom level and extent.
11. Click OK.
12. Optionally, add and remove map tools using the toggle buttons in the Tools section. The tools pop up on the Map widget when it is enabled.
