What's New in ArcGIS GeoBIM (November 2024)

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 Highlight

Improved control over Autodesk project data with folder selection

This release on ArcGIS Online adds a new feature to specify relevant Autodesk project folders for ArcGIS GeoBIM workflows. Users will benefit from faster processing, less clutter, and more control over their project data.

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.
