Hello,

I have a Navisworks 3D file of our facility that needs to be viewed in ArcGIS Pro and published as a 3D Scene. We exported it out to a fbx for City Engine which is then exported to a scene layer package to be viewed in ArcPro and this “works”, but we have a only layer with zero attribution. Is there a way I can either use the original Navisworks file or the fbx to break out the all the features withing the facility and create an output as a multipatch gdb? 

 

sorry for my noobness

thanks in advance.

Not sure about being able to read the original Navisworks file, but FME can read FBX. As far as I'm aware though FBX doesn't support attributes though. You might get the geometry name or material/appearance name in FME though.

 

You can split up the FBX in fme with a Deaggregator - it's hard so say what kind of structure you will get after this though 


crud, this is what I thought would happen lol. thanks! much appreciated for confirming my suspicions. I’ll give it a shot and see what happens. 


Thank you for your question. As it happens - we just added support for reading Navisworks to FME 2024.2 beta b24729 or later - see: https://fme.safe.com/downloads/#beta Please download, give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.
