ArcGIS Data Interoperability for ArcGIS Pro Where the extension is at in Pro ArcGIS Pro 1.3 improves the ETL Tool authoring experience ETL Tools may reference or import FMW files Supports bringing FME-based work into Projects Supports sharing work as FMW files Launch Workbench from the ribbon’s Analysis tab Ad-hoc workflows starting from a blank workspace Drag and drop in a FMW file to a blank workspace Drag and drop in a recognized format file to a blank workspace Drag and drop in a custom transformer FMX from store.safe.com

LiDAR Point Cloud Scenarios
Convert Point Cloud Formats Create LASD, ZLAS from Airborne or Terrestrial Point Clouds Read ASPRS LAS ASTM E57 Microsoft (Mojang) Minecraft Oracle Spatial Point Cloud Point Cloud XYZ RIEGL Laser Scan Database Terrasolid Terrascan Z+F LaserControl ZFS Write LAS, LASD, ZLAS, LAZ Drone Acquired Point Clouds Are Coming!
Demo Convert Terrascan to ZLAS
Transforming Point Clouds Thin, Clip to reduce data Overlay on Raster Create a Surface Model Slice or Profile along a line Update Extents Combine Clouds, Merge Components Set Components Manually Point-by-point Calculate Components Point-by-point Filtering Convert from or to Geometry Features …
Reprojection Ideally LiDAR has a spatial reference LAS for example requires this to be compliant But often it is missing or incorrect ArcGIS cannot Project LASD datasets Do this in Workbench during import ArcGIS will see the projection in LASD/ZLAS Common conversion is from ECEF coordinates
Clipping Discard points outside a defined area or volume Cubic Clipping: Clip to a 3D Solid Data becomes more manageable
Tiling Chop the Point Cloud into a Series Tiler Transformer Chop the Point Cloud into a Series Tile by tile size in ground units Tile by tile count in each axis
Splitting Split by Component Value Classification, Color, Intensity…. Subset Point Cloud Split by Component Value Classification, Color, Intensity…. Exact values or ranges
Demo Split a Point Cloud
Colorization Automatically set color components Inject component values for RGB Automatically set color components View in ArcScene or ArcGIS Pro
Demo Colorize point Cloud with Orthophoto
3D GIS Working with 3D Data
Working with 3D Data Z-enabled features read and written Data Interoperability works in 3D Z-enabled features read and written Multipatch features are supported CAD solids become GDB multipatch Create 3D from 2D data: 3D Buffering Extrusion By Attribute Value or Expression
Demo Create 3D Sketchup Building Model 2D Shapefile building outlines LiDAR elevation values for rooftops LiDAR ground surface model Extrude Buildings Set Appearance Write Sketchup
BIM and GIS Working with BIM Data
Working with BIM Important touch point with AEC world Web Scene Visualization Important touch point with AEC world File size and complexity make BIM data hard to use BIM exports IFC (too complex) or DWG (too simple) Key: keep what you need, discard what you don’t
BIM to GIS: Mount Vernon George Washington’s home laser scanned to create high quality BIM in Revit Data Interoperability extension used to convert BIM to GIS Export Revit data (plus added georeferencing) with FME Revit Exporter Import to ArcGIS with Data Interoperability extension Reconnect attribution Web Scene delivery Rich detail of BIM with spatial context of GIS
BIM to GIS Scenarios Read IFC or RVZ Translate Revit floorplan to Geodatabase Extract/use BIM georeferencing Complete control over IFC hierarchies Reduce BIM data volumes Update BIM from Excel tables Webinar: GIS and BIM Interoperability - fme.ly/gisbim
Minecraft As Outreach Technology
Working with Minecraft A Minecraft world is a point cloud BlockID and BlockData components Convert any data to Minecraft Vector Raster LiDAR BIM etc.
Example Bowen Island: GIS + DEM to Minecraft
Workspace Summary GIS & DEM to Minecraft Read road lines (Shapefile), forest polygons (MapInfo), and raster DEM Buffer and clip vectors to avoid overlap Rasterize vector layers Make numeric rasters for Z, blockID, blockData Convert raster pixels to points Set Z value and point cloud components Publish as Public Consultation
Minecraft and the real world Hypothetical scenarios Lava flow Forest fires Rising sea levels Geodesign Sweden used Minecraft for public urban planning Fun: fme.ly/MazeGenerator
