How to import CityGML data into ArcGIS Desktop?
Mr Cote speaks about the in/out model here at the geodesign summit recently. ArcGIS can import CityGML through the data interoperability extension. Just select CityGML as your import format. The CityGML would then be converted to multipatch geometry and stored in a file geodatabase.
How to import GML data into a geodatabase?
Import the data. After importing the data, add the dataset to ArcMap to verify your results. The Data Interoperability extension must be enabled. This exercise will be converting GML data into a Geodatabase format using the geoprocessing tool Quick Import.
How to use CityGML data for spatial analysis?
My goal is to use the CityGML approach (with varying levels of detail, or LODs) to perform spatial analysis at different levels of accuracy. I used FME to create a connection to the data in arcmap. Then used fme universal viewer to view the sample frankfurt data downloaded from citygml.
How to import zoning.gdb into ArcGIS?

Can you use Esri with open CityGML data?
ESRI GIS software recognizes CityGML along with other open GIS data standards and provides tools for importing/exporting CityGML data sets. Therefore CityGML urban models can be imported and used in ESRI applications. Conversely, ESRI applications can export urban models as CityGML for use with other software.
Can a QGIS file be used with ArcGIS?
The basic data is usable in qgis. Arcgis is the native software that shape files are used in. Now shape files are in the open specification realm. There are many other data formats though that both qgis and arcgis read and write.
Where to find CityGML and 3D data in QGIS?
You’ll find there the whole list of such portals https://www.citygml.org/3dcities/ and some sample datasets as well. And even better, now you can use the new Google dataset search. Just type CityGML in a search box and find the data you need. For the purpose of this guide, I used a sample dataset from Delft. I found it on CityGML website
