What's New in ArcGIS GeoBIM on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4

By Geoff Cook

 

Overview

ArcGIS GeoBIM delivers an innovative, easy-to-use web-based experience for teams to collaborate on building information modeling (BIM) projects and issues in geospatial context. Architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) and operations teams can make better decisions by securely accessing up-to-date project and asset information between ArcGIS and Autodesk Construction Cloud, including 3D digital models, documentation, issues, and reality capture.

Esri’s ArcGIS is an enterprise geospatial platform that provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for creating, managing, analyzing, and mapping geographic information. Together with Autodesk, Esri is committed to continually evolving connected GIS and BIM workflows between ArcGIS and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Release Highlights

Simplified user administration and Autodesk folder selection

ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4 expands access to ArcGIS GeoBIM through the updated user types. This simplifies user administration by removing the need to manage add-on licenses. Users can now also specify the Autodesk project folders they need for ArcGIS GeoBIM workflows, resulting in faster processing and less clutter.

Projects often involve many stakeholders with varying access needs that may change over time depending on their roles and participation.

The updated ArcGIS user types now deliver access to ArcGIS GeoBIM through the Contributor, Mobile Worker, Creator, Professional, and Professional Plus user types. This simplifies how System Administrators and AEC Project Managers manage access for project team members and stakeholders.

Current Esri customers using ArcGIS GeoBIM on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 and 11.3 can benefit today. Esri has provided customers the ability to assign ArcGIS GeoBIM to users with Editor user types or above. Customers can log in to My Esri to see what licenses are available and assign them at their discretion.

Folder Selection

Specify relevant BIM project folders for ArcGIS GeoBIM workflows

Cloud document repositories like Autodesk Construction Cloud can quickly fill up with data that may not be relevant for ArcGIS GeoBIM project workflows. With Folder Selection, users can easily choose BIM project data from a connected Autodesk account for even more control over the data they want to work with.

In the Tools pane, a new button and pop-up window let users select and deselect folders for adding to ArcGIS GeoBIM projects. Doing so results in faster processing and less clutter.
