The Analyze feature allows you to validate BIM project documents and identify potential issues before starting the data synchronization operation. During analysis, ArcGIS GeoBIM checks the selected contents for missing or incomplete information, including spatial references, projection (.prj) files, embedded geospatial metadata, and other related issues that may affect synchronization results.
Analysis report results provide warnings and actionable feedback to help identify and resolve issues with project data before initiating the geoprocessing tools.
