The updates below have been made in ArcGIS GeoBIM.
General
General product updates include the following:
- The introduction of the Analyze
feature on the Tools page allows you to run analysis reports on Autodesk Forma project data and check for potential errors before starting a synchronization operation. - The new
Download Error Report
feature on the Tools page replaces the error list in the View Job Summary window. - IFC 2.2 files are no longer supported.
- Add Document Models tool now supports generating simplified 3D models using the predefined 3D ArcGIS view name.
- General improvements to the History tab on the Tools page.
Enhancements and bug fixes
The following enhancements and bug fixes were made:
- The Analyze
feature allows you to run analysis on Autodesk Forma project data and check for potential errors before starting a synchronization operation. Selecting the Analyze button will generate a HTML report output with the name ArcGIS GeoBIM Pre-sync Analysis Report. This report identifies potential issues with Autodesk Forma project data that may impact synchronization operations and provides recommended actions for troubleshooting.
- The
Download Error Report
feature replaces the error list in the View Job Summary window.If your tool run fails or succeeds with errors, selecting the Download Error Report button will generate a HTML report output with the name ArcGIS GeoBIM Post-sync Error Report. This report outlines errors experienced with Autodesk Forma project data during a synchronization operation and provides recommended actions for troubleshooting.
- Updates to the IFC georeferencing pipeline address a number of bugs with 2D and 3D processing of IFC files.
- Support for using a predefined 3D ArcGIS view within Revit models when processing the Add Document Models tool. If available, the 3D ArcGIS view takes precedence over the default 3D view set for the Revit model in Autodesk Forma.
- The History tab on the Tools page now contains context on the Add Document Models tool processing activities.
- The Job Parameters window of the History tab is in sync with the selected options when a geoprocessing job is in progress. This includes selected file formats, thumbnails as attachments, default WKID, use project address, and output shape(s) settings.
- The Job Summary window of the History tab contains a total count of the Document Models processed.
- The Autodesk log in window now correctly reverts to plain text if you cancel the authorization step while creating a new issue in ArcGIS GeoBIM.
Known issues
The following known issues have been identified:
- The ArcGIS GeoBIM Pre-sync Analysis Report may incorrectly state for some DWG files that This file will not be synced. Despite this warning, if your DWG is accompanied by a valid projection (.prj) file, the DWG may actually be successfully processed by the ArcGIS GeoBIM tools.
Note:
Before attempting to repair or modify your DWG based on the ArcGIS GeoBIM Pre-sync Analysis Report, proceed with running the tools. You should only need to troubleshoot the file if the actual synchronization process fails.
- In case it is triggered, the Pre-sync Analysis Report will display the message string This file will be skipped in English, regardless of the user's configured locale or language settings.
- The Add Document Models tool may fail with the error Exception: No 3D model available for IFC files created using the IFC 4.3 Extension for Autodesk Civil 3D. To workaround this, use the built-in export capability in Civil 3D
- The Add Document Models tool fails when the user has an ArcGIS for Personal Use license. This user type is excluded from certain ArcGIS Online capabilities and is treated differently from full organizational plans. For example, creating advanced 3D content (such as empty 3D object layers) is not supported.
- Unexpected behavior may occur when processing IFC files that contain multiple IfcSite entities.
- Unexpected behavior may occur when processing IFC files that store coordinates in IfcRigidOperation.
