The July 2026 update includes support for running pre-sync analysis on Autodesk Forma documents, a new post-sync error reporting experience, generating simplified 3D models using a predefined 3D ArcGIS view, as well as improvements to the Tool page's History tab.
See the ArcGIS GeoBIM Esri Community page for more details. Highlights are provided below.
Enhanced data synchronization and reporting experiences
The introduction of structured pre-sync analysis reports allows you to proactively identify problematic design files and receive direct guidance on troubleshooting before running the ArcGIS GeoBIM tools.
The new post-sync error report replaces the error list in the View Job Summary window to provide a cleaner user experience for identifying files that could not be synced by ArcGIS GeoBIM.
Both features are described in more detail below.
Pre-sync document analysis report
The new Analyze
feature on the Tools page offers pre-sync analysis support for your Autodesk Forma .dwg, .rvt, and .ifc documents. This capability enables users to understand underlying problems with their data and provides guidance to resolve issues before starting data synchronization activities in GeoBIM, streamlining the tool geoprocessing time and ensuring data integrity.
Once analysis is complete, the resulting Pre-sync Analysis Report provides a structured table format with clear warnings and feedback to help you resolve underlying data issues with your Autodesk Forma documents. To learn more, see analyze BIM documents.
Post-sync job error report
Previously, tool job errors displayed in the View Job Summary window which provided a general overview of Autodesk Forma documents that failed to sync to the ArcGIS GeoBIM project. With the July 2026 release, the job failure experience has been redesigned to consolidate all job errors into the dedicated Post-sync Error Report.
If your tool run fails or succeeds with errors, the
Download Error Report
button will appear at the bottom of the History tab. To learn more, see job failures.
Similar to pre-sync report, the post-sync report provides a structured table format with clear warnings and feedback to help you resolve underlying data issues with your Autodesk Forma documents.
Both pre-sync and post-sync reports include a direct URL to the location of the file in Autodesk Forma, allowing for quick inspection of documents in the source design platform and identification of responsible parties. The reports also provide recommended troubleshooting documentation links to help guide resolution efforts for identified errors.
Predefined Revit 3D view support for the Add Document Models tool
Previously, ArcGIS GeoBIM searched for the default Revit 3D view set in Autodesk Forma when creating simplified 3D models through the Add Document Models tool. With this release, the predefined 3D ArcGIS view now takes precedence over the default 3D view.
This gives users greater control over which elements are visible in the final 3D models output in ArcGIS GeoBIM. To learn more, see how ArcGIS GeoBIM selects Revit 3D views.
Note:
Custom 3D view names are not supported by the Add Document Models tool.
Tool history improvements
The History tab on the Tools page has the following improvements:
- Context of the Add Document Models tool is now included when running a geoprocessing job, allowing you to track the status of the tool activity while a job is in progress.
- The Job Parameters window also includes context on whether the Add Document Models tool was selected for a specific tool run, allowing you to quickly review the history of the tools execution.
- The Job Parameters window is in sync with selected settings when a job is in progress. This ensures you can verify the:
- Select File Formats setting correctly reflects the file types to include.
- Add Thumbnails as Attachments setting correctly reflects the value True/False.
- Default WKID value reflects the correct spatial reference.
Note:
This setting will now have a blank entry (previously null) if the default WKID was not configured.
- Use Project Address setting correctly reflects the value True/False.
- Output Shape(s) setting correctly reflects the project boundary shapes to include.
