Existent facilities' information is managed mainly through CAD technology which presents many limitations such as no homogenized formats, decentralized information, inaccurate locations, lack of interoperability and scalability, undefined proper spatial information, lack of correlation between variables, inability to analyze patterns or quantified performance, etc.
Reason why, the current project intends to demonstrate step by step how an existent facility's information from the 10th floor of Guiliano Global Center, at NYIT Manhattan campus, can be easily integrated and introduced into GIS technology through ArcGIS 10.6 using ArcMap and ArcCatalog. Such integration will allow all the components from the floor to define spatial reference and the capability to analyze the correlation between components, quantify performance, tabular data, scalability, and in general terms, to facilitate decision making to the facility management department regarding the iov floor of Guiliano Global Center.
The step by step documented in this project shows in a practical way how to transfer coordinates from Google Earth Pro to ArcCatalog, how to convert files (.kml, .kmz, .lyr, .shp, .dwg) through importation and exportation of them in the corresponded program. At the end of the project, the user will be able to assign spatial reference to any * .dwg file and convert it into a file compatible with Google Earth Pro or ArcGIS. Furthermore, after being able to interoperate between the above mentioned systems, the user will be able to create metadata, geodatabase, and table of attributes to be analyzed as convenience. This way, there is going to be the availability to maximize and take advantage of ArcGIS functionalities.
The CAD plans provided by NYIT from 10th floor are:
• Lighting plans: Polyline Polygon Points
• Fire alarm Plan: Polyline Polygon Points Polyline Polygon
• Power Plan: l l l Points
• Mechanical plan: Polylines only. The plans for points and polygons were not properly defined and presented many inconsistences to be displayed on ArcGIS. It is necessary to adjust it directly from AutoCAD and import it again from ArcCatalog.
The current project has incorporated the CAD technology integrated with GIS systems. The result of such integration is the above mentioned plans visualized on ArcGIS 10.6 with their specific coordinate systems and correspondent geodatabase from every component of the floor plans to be further analyzed. Moreover, it is presented the step by step detailed to achieve such integration and to interoperate between CAD technology, ArcGIS systems and Google Earth Pro, facilitating managers the process to integrate new technologies into the existent buildings that lack of interoperability to perform functions in a more efficient and sustainable way.
