Issues with room tags and door swings not importing into ArcMap using the FME converter for Revit files.

Hi @rajohnsoniii

 

Here is a tutorial on working with BIM which I recommend going though (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/591/bim-tutorial.html). For your problem you will need to do some investigation work to narrow down where your data be being lost (either in the export from revit or in the conversion to GIS using FME).

 

I suggest you try and export your model to IFC from Revit rather than use the FME exporter for Revit. If you then import the IFC file back into Revit, then you can see if the data are lost during the export. (the FME exporter for Revit is very similar to an exported IFC file from Revit).

 

If everything is still there in the IFC then you will need to take a close look at the way GIS output is being created from FME. going from CAD/BIM to GIS can be quite tricky at times. Here's a good webinar which, in addition to the BIM tutorial, will also give you some tips when writing to GIS from CAD/BIM. (https://www.safe.com/webinars/how-to-exchange-data-between-cad-and-gis/) For GIS the geometry types of the output are very important. Line, polygons, text and points all need to be on separate layers/ feature types.
