To open an existing model

Open an existing model from InfraWorks Home or from Manage On-line Models.

To open an existing model from InfraWorks Home, click on the model tile for the desired model.

Filter Models

Filter the display of model tiles using My Models. If you don't see a tile for a model, check your filter settings on the drop-down menu. Models can be filtered by status (Recently Used, Local, Cloud) or by Design Group. See InfraWorks Home for more about model status.

Note: You must be signed-in to Autodesk InfraWorks 360 to view cloud models and collaborate with design groups. See Sign-in to InfraWorks 360.

Open a Model from Manage On-line Models Dialogue

You can open an existing model from the Manage On-line Models dialogue. This dialogue is mainly for managing details of models, proposals and scenarios.

To open a model from Manage On-line Models Dialogue:

1. Click to display a horizontal menu.
   
   • Click to open manage on-line models and scenarios dialogue.

     See To manage on-line scenarios and To View_Model_Information.

From Manage On-line Models, an Admin can download and open any model belonging to an Administered group, even if the Admin is not a member of the group sharing a specific model.

Open Existing Models from Your Models Folder

You can also open a model by selecting its *.sqlite file stored in your InfraWorks models directory.

1. Click to display a horizontal menu.
   
2. Click Open
3. Select the model's *.sqlite file and click the dialogue Open.

Advanced Tip

• Copy an existing model before opening it in a newer version of InfraWorks 360.

  Once you open a model in your current release of Autodesk InfraWorks 360, you'll no longer be able to open that model in preceding versions because of schema and data definition changes. Making a copy of a model before opening it preserves the original model so it can be opened in preceding versions.
