An overview of the Indoors toolbox

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

The ArcGIS Indoors toolbox contains tools for adding datasets, feature classes, tables, and configurations to host ArcGIS Indoors data in a geodatabase.

Indoors toolbox tools

ToolDescription

Create Indoor Dataset

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.

Create Indoor 3D Dataset

Creates an indoor 3D dataset containing the necessary multipatch feature classes to maintain floor plan data using a streamlined schema that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. You can use these feature classes when preparing 3D scenes of floor plans and share them across your organization.

Create Indoors Database

Creates an Indoors geodatabase that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model and contains the feature classes, fields, and tables required for maintaining indoor data for floor plan mapping, routing, space planning, and workspace reservations.

Generate Unit Openings

Creates unit openings as line features that model the location and physical extent of an entrance.

Import BIM To Indoor Dataset

Imports features from a BIM file into an indoor dataset that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. The output of this tool can be used to create floor-aware maps and scenes, as well as to generate an indoor network for routing.

Import CAD To Indoor Dataset

Imports features from a CAD file into an indoor dataset that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. The output of this tool can be used to create floor-aware maps and scenes, as well as to generate an indoor network for routing.

Import IFC To Indoor Dataset

Imports features from an International Foundation Class (IFC) file into an indoor dataset that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. The output of this tool can be used to create floor-aware maps and scenes, as well as to generate an indoor network for routing.

Import Floorplans To Indoors Geodatabase

Imports floor plans from CAD files into an Indoors workspace that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model. The output of this tool can be used to create floor-aware maps and scenes for use in floor-aware apps, as well as to generate an indoor network for routing.

Update Occupant Features

Updates the Occupants feature class that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model.

Upgrade Indoors Database

Upgrades an existing Indoors workspace by creating or updating schema items to conform to the latest ArcGIS Indoors Information Model schema.

The Indoors Network toolset contains tools to generate an indoor routable network.

ToolsetDescription

Indoors Network

The Indoors Network toolset contains tools to generate preliminary transportation network pathways that are cut according to obstructions, such as walls or columns, on each floor plan of a facility.
