Hi there,

I'm exporting rvz files to a esri file geodatabase. When I want to open the multipatches in ArcGIS pro I have to adjust the elevation to make the features visible. In Revit it is possible to built storey /levels and give them a height or elevation value. How can I transfer Z-values to arcGIS and use them as an attribute field for the elevation source?

 

Thank you. I hope my question makes sense.

Normally, there are Z-values from the Revit model, but often they are in millimeters. If that is the case, you can use a Scaler (with Z-scale = 0.001) to get it back to meters.

If you want to get the Z-values you can use a BoundingBoxExtractor to get the minimal and maximal Z-values for each feature. You can use an Offsetter to correct values if necessary.

Otherwise you might use the option in ArcGIS Pro to put the geometry on Ground Level in the layer settings under Elevation (but that is outside of this topic).
