Finding facility type errors

The Multinationa Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) product specification contains several facility type attributes for the building feature classes. These fields address the different types of primary building functions that can be identified. When more than one of these fields is populated, conflicts may result.

The Validate Facility Type tool searches the selected building features for attribution errors. When features with errors are found, they are the only ones selected when the process is finished.

The values in the following attributes are validated by the Validate Facility Type tool:

Field abbreviation	Description
AFC	Agricultural Facility Type
CEF	Cultural Facility Type
CFC	Corrections Facility Type
CIT	Commercial Facility Type
CUS	Communications Facility Type
DDC	Dwelling Type
EBT	Educational Facility Type
GFC	Government Facility Type
HWT	House of Worship Type
ICF	Manufacturing Facility Type
MFC	Military Facility Type
PAF	Public Accommodation Facility Type
PPO	Primary Product
PSF	Public Services Facility Type
RES	Research Facility Type
RFC	Religious Facility Type
SFY	Security Facility Type
SUC	Shed Type
TFC	Transportation Facility Type
UUC	Utility Facility Type
