Abstract：Urban underground pipeline networks are the lifeline of a city and play a critical role in ensuring its normal operation.However,traditional underground pipeline data is often presented only in tabular formats,which fail to provide an intuitive representation of the pipelines' location.This can lead to accidents during construction,such as inadvertently breaking pipelines.This paper utilizes Revit API for secondary development to automatically read underground pipeline network data from Excel spreadsheets,convert the underground pipeline network data into a building information modeling(BIM)model,and integrate the BIM model with the GIS system based on the geodetic coordinate positions.It enables the viewing of the actual positions of the underground pipeline network in the GIS system.This not only significantly improves the efficiency of BIM modeling for the underground pipeline network but also provides a basic platform for the digital operation and maintenance of underground pipeline network of the whole city.
