This document describes research into extracting building information modeling (BIM) data from MicroStation and importing it into a geographic information system (GIS). Several challenges are outlined around reliably extracting geometry and metadata. Solutions involve using MicroStation scripts to extract element IDs and properties into a format readable by the FME data transformation software. The resulting workflow is able to merge BIM geometry, attributes, and appearance from multiple sources into a consolidated format while maintaining traceability back to the original model elements.
