The updates below have been made in ArcGIS GeoBIM.
General
General product updates include the following:
- ArcGIS GeoBIM has a new Add Document Models (Beta) geoprocessing tool to create simplified 3D models of Revit and IFC documents. Use this tool to automate the creation of lightweight, performant shells from your detailed model geometries and witness the fast rendering and smooth navigation of project data.
- ArcGIS GeoBIM tools have been renamed to Add Document Extents, Add Project Issues, and Add Project Boundaries.
- The Outlier Analysis setting has been removed from the Add Document Extents tool.
Enhancements and bug fixes
The following enhancements and bug fixes were made:
- DGN, JPG, and PDF file formats are now supported in ArcGIS GeoBIM.
- A Select file formats to be processed setting has been added to the Add Document Extents tool. Configure the selection to include only the specific file formats you want to work with in ArcGIS GeoBIM.
- The Add thumbnails as attachments setting has been added to the Add Document Extents tool. Turn on the switch to include the thumbnail attachments from your selected ACC or BIM 360 projects.
Known issues
See the ArcGIS GeoBIM Esri Community page for a complete list of known issues and status. The following are the known issues in this release:
- When a user does not have access to the ACC or BIM 360 projects linked to an ArcGIS GeoBIM project, the Project Details panel will display a list of all projects they do have access to.
- If an ArcGIS GeoBIM project is connected to 'All projects' from the ACC or BIM 360 account, the folder tree in the Select Folders modal will not display the last job's custom selection when you sign out and sign back in to your ArcGIS Online and Autodesk accounts. To work around this, do either of the following:
- Sign in to your ArcGIS Online account before opening the ArcGIS GeoBIM project.
- Reload the Tools page after signing back in to your ArcGIS Online and Autodesk accounts.
- If you select a record in the Table widget and click the Add Links button, the Link button in the Document Explorer widget will still be disabled after you make a selection in the tree. To work around this, do one of the following:
- Clear your selection in the Table widget and select the record again.
- Select the feature from the Map widget instead of the Table widget.
- When closing the Autodesk Viewer in BIM 360, after opening a project issue from the Issue Details panel in ArcGIS GeoBIM, the page will display a loading icon. To work around this, refresh the page after closing the Autodesk Viewer, and then select any folder from the document folder tree.
- Project issues linked to Files that are not supported in ArcGIS GeoBIM are not ingested.
- Changing the Account configuration after running the tools will not reset the folder selection. Running the tools without changes will result in running the previous configuration. To work around this, click the Select Folders button to review and reset the folder selection to match the Autodesk projects included in the ArcGIS GeoBIM project.
- The Create Issue form allows more characters for Title and Description than are allowed by ACC projects. Exceeding these limitations will result in the Title or Description being truncated. To work around this, limit the Title to 100 characters and Description to 1,000 characters.
- Autodesk projects will not display in the Accounts modal if you sign in directly to the Accounts page, as the Autodesk authentication window no longer automatically opens. To work around this, click any other page tab along the top of the GeoBIM UI to force the Autodesk authentication window to open. Once signed in, return to the Accounts modal to see all linked Autodesk projects.
- When the ArcGIS GeoBIM project web scene is opened in Scene Viewer, a runtime error (Webscene not valid against schema) shows up because of an incomplete configuration. To work around this do the following:
- Ignore and close the error message. Save the web scene as it is. The error message will not show up again.
- If the project web scene is added to an ArcGIS GeoBIM app, only the Save to Copy option is available. Selecting this will save a new web scene. To see the Save option in ArcGIS GeoBIM when adding the project web scene to an app do the following:
- Open the ArcGIS GeoBIM project web scene in Scene Viewer and save it. This will fix the schema and you will be able to save the project web scene using the Save option in ArcGIS GeoBIM.
