Exercise 4: Create an InfraWorks 360 Group

Create a group to review the proposal

Autodesk InfraWorks 360 (InfraWorks 360 ) is a cloud-based service that lets you securely share your models and proposals with specific groups of people, or with the general public. If you are an account administrator, you can create InfraWorks 360 groups and invite members to them.

The invitation is sent via an email message. When you receive an invitation to a group, you must accept it in Autodesk InfraWorks 360.
