Greetings,

 

I’m trying to use an ETL to convert RVT files (2023) into File Geodatabase multi patch, however, the following model produces the right objects, but in the wrong location, even though when reading the RVT file directly in ArcGIS Pro, the building falls in the right place. Any clue?

Hi @awagih, what Scale Origin is your Scaler set to? If it’s at 0,0, in the feature’s coordinate system, and the model isn’t close to 0,0, this could potentially be introducing your shift. You could plop down a Creator to make a point at 0,0 to check where your model might be in relation to the origin.

If this is the case, you may want to do the scaling process in a local coordinate system first to change the units before moving it into your target coordinate system.

There’s a bit more context in the Scaler transformer documentation under usage notes that might be helpful to check out. Hopefully that provides some ideas!
