Hi, I have something I can’t find my way around in.

We have a whole lot of Revit files. At the end we need them at ArcGIS Online as room Polygons and ghosted facades.

I created a flow, that worked on the first file, but after that some works, some don’t and I can’t see the difference.

I’ve testet and added the files in ArcGIS Pro and defined the correct coordinate system, and they are all placed correctly, using the exact same method, but using FME only some are placed correctly.

I’m using a Feature reader using the Danish Coordinate system ESPG 4095, since that’s what have been added to the Revit file, and I’m using a feature writer using the same coordinate system.

I was playing around with the Coordinate system to read, it’s not helping me at all, and why should that make any difference when it pops in perfectly in ArcGIS PRO.

 

I hope one can help me understand this.

Thanks

Found the issue, some files are coming in in millimeter's and som in meters, due to legacy files. Totally forgot about that issue.

I can’t remember how, but there was a solution for this. 
I will then need a tester, if for example  boundsextracter shows values above something, then change the scale.

Edit: Created a tester and a scaler :-)
