Indoor dataset schema

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

The Indoor dataset schema is a streamlined schema that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. The Indoor dataset schema supports managing the indoor GIS information necessary to establish basic visualization and routing capabilities for floor plan mapping. The Indoor dataset schema can be applied to an existing workspace using a series of tools that include the following:

• Create Indoor Dataset (required)
• Create Indoor 3D Dataset (optional)
• Create Indoor Network Dataset (optional)

The schema created by these tools consists of feature datasets with a collection of feature classes between them to use for floor plan mapping. This schema is extensible and can be modified using the tools in ArcGIS Pro to maintain additional information required by your organization.

Note:

If you require support for space planning, workspace reservations, or advanced floor plan mapping and routing, use the Create Indoors Database tool to apply the full ArcGIS Indoors Information Model to an existing workspace. The full model created by this tool contains additional feature classes, fields, and tables that support the Space Planner app and advanced functionality in the Indoor Viewer and Indoors mobile apps, such as conference room and office hotel booking.

Feature datasets

Name	Description
Indoor dataset	Required. Manages the indoor GIS data that defines 2.5D floor plans for use with floor-aware maps and apps. This feature dataset is created using the Create Indoor Dataset tool in ArcGIS Pro and contains feature classes organized by functional levels.
Indoor 3D Dataset	Optional. Manages the indoor GIS data that defines 3D floor plans for use with floor-aware maps and apps. This feature dataset is created using the Create Indoor 3D Dataset tool in ArcGIS Pro and contains multipatch feature classes organized by functional levels.
Indoor Network Dataset	Optional. Manages the network artifacts that are created to support routing between indoor spaces. These features are created using the Indoors geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro. Note: This feature dataset should not be versioned when using an enterprise geodatabase.
PrelimIndoor Network Dataset	Optional. Stores preliminary network artifacts used in the process of generating the final network. Note: This feature dataset should not be versioned when using an enterprise geodatabase.

Indoor dataset feature classes

The indoor feature dataset consists of feature classes that represent floor plan information in 2.5D for visualization and analysis purposes.

These feature classes are organized in a hierarchy with assumed spatial relationships defined in the following ascending order:

• Units and Details
• Levels
• Facilities
• Sites

Name	Description
Details	Describes your linear architectural features, such as walls, doors, windows, and so on. Details are used to constrain generated network pathways and to support visualization. Details features should be contained in a Levels feature.
Facilities	Describes the footprints of your managed buildings and other structures. A facility can represent any occupiable structure, such as an office or campus building, retail setting, warehouse, generator or pump house, silo, or any industrial structure. It is recommended that Facilities features be contained in a Sites feature.
Levels	Describes the footprint of each occupiable floor contained in your managed facilities. Levels footprints must be contained in a Facilities feature.
Sites	Describes the boundaries of your managed sites and is used for visualization in mapmaking.
Units	Describes the footprints of nonoverlapping individual functional areas such as workspaces, amenities, retail spaces, elevators and stairways, and so on. Unit footprints must be contained in a Levels feature.

Details

Field name	Type	Is nullable	Description
DETAIL_ID	Text	False	Defines a unique ID for the feature. This value must be unique in the table. The uniqueness of this field is not enforced by the geodatabase.
HEIGHT_RELATIVE	Double	True	Defines the height of the feature relative to the bottom of the floor. Define height in meters—for example, Level 1 = 4.25 m, Level 2 = 4.25 m, and so on.
LEVEL_ID	Text	False	Records the unique ID of the feature’s associated level and is used to identify the feature’s associated level feature in floor-aware maps. A feature can only be related to a single level using the Level ID field.
USE_TYPE	Text	True	Distinguishes feature types used in tool processing and supports differences in symbology for mapmaking.

Facilities

Field name	Type	Is nullable	Description
FACILITY_ID	Text	False	Defines a unique ID for the feature. This value must be unique in the table. The uniqueness of this field is not enforced by the geodatabase.
HEIGHT_RELATIVE	Double	True	Defines the height of the facility compared to the bottom of the ground floor of the facility. Define height in meters. Required if: This field is used when creating a 3D scene.
NAME	Text	False	Defines the name of the feature. In most cases, the Name field of a feature is the most commonly used field for naming features.
NAME_LONG	Text	True	Defines a long name for a feature. Features created by the Import Floorplans To Indoors Geodatabase and Import BIM To Indoor Dataset tools include an automatically generated long name. The long name is used to support descriptive capabilities in the Indoors web and mobile apps.
SITE_ID	Text	True	Records the unique ID of the feature’s associated site and can be used to identify the feature’s associated site feature in floor-aware maps. A feature can only be related to a single site using the Site ID field.

Levels

Field name	Type	Is nullable	Description
AREA_GROSS	Double	True	Records the total gross area of a feature.
FACILITY_ID	Text	False	Records the unique ID of the feature’s associated facility and is used to identify the feature’s associated facility feature in floor-aware maps. A feature can only be related to a single facility using the Facility ID field.
HEIGHT_RELATIVE	Double	True	Defines the height of the feature relative to the bottom of the floor. Define height in meters—for example, Level 1 = 4.25 m, Level 2 = 4.25 m, and so on.
LEVEL_ID	Text	False	Defines a unique ID for the feature. This value must be unique in the table. The uniqueness of this field is not enforced by the geodatabase.
LEVEL_NUMBER	Long	False	Records the facility-specific level number.
NAME	Text	False	Defines the name of the feature. The level name is used to support floor filtering in floor-aware apps.
NAME_SHORT	Text	False	Defines a short name for a feature. The short name is used to support floor filtering in floor-aware apps. Some floor-aware apps only display a short name in the level filter, while some may use the name or allow the user to switch between the name and the short name.
VERTICAL_ORDER	Long	False	Defines the order of display and reference to floors in the Indoor Positioning System (IPS). It uses a zero (0)-based ordering system to define the floor order, with the ground level of each facility represented as zero. Positive values represent floors above ground, and negative values represent floors below ground. Vertical order values must be continuous and cannot skip a value in the sequence.

Sites

Field name	Type	Is nullable	Description
NAME	Text	False	Defines the name of the feature. In most cases, the Name field of a feature is the most commonly used field for naming features.
NAME_LONG	Text	True	Defines a long name for a feature. Features created by the Import Floorplans To Indoors Geodatabase and Import BIM To Indoor Dataset tools include an automatically generated long name. The long name is used to support descriptive capabilities in the Indoors web and mobile apps.
SITE_ID	Text	False	Defines a unique ID for the feature. This value must be unique in the table. The uniqueness of this field is not enforced by the geodatabase.

Units

Field name	Type	Is nullable	Description
AREA_GROSS	Double	True	Records the total gross area of a feature.
