Create Indoor Dataset (Indoors)

This ArcGIS 2.8 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

Summary

Creates an indoor dataset containing the necessary feature classes to maintain floor plan data using a streamlined schema that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. The indoor dataset can be used for visualizing, analyzing, and editing indoor data.

Usage

  • The target geodatabase must already exist.

  • When using an enterprise geodatabase, the connection file must connect directly to the database, and the connection must be established as the database owner.

  • Use the Coordinate System parameter to set the spatial reference of the output indoor dataset. Both a horizontal and a vertical coordinate system are required.

    Note:

    Consider the following when choosing a coordinate system:

  • The following feature classes will be created in the output indoor dataset:

    • Sites
    • Facilities
    • Levels
    • Units
    • Details

  • The output of this tool is used by the Import BIM To Indoor Dataset tool, which converts BIM data to GIS data, and the Import Floorplans To Indoors Geodatabase tool, which converts CAD data to GIS data.
