Tutorial 3 Exercise 2: Duplicating the Model

In this exercise you will make a copy of a model to experiment with disconnecting from the cloud service and publishing a local model.

1. Note that the Tutorial 2015 model has a Connected icon indicating that the model is connected to the cloud.

   You downloaded a local copy of this model in Tutorial 1. That copy remains connected to the original model in the cloud. Sharing the model in the cloud enables you to collaborate with others.

2. Click Duplicate Model to make a copy.
3. Name it Tutorial 3-Collaboration and click Save.
4. Wait for the duplication process to complete.
5. Open the Tutorial 3-Collaboration model.
6. Click Disconnect to create a local model that is not connected to the cloud service.

   Normally, you would not do this. However, for the purposes of this tutorial, you need to start fresh with a model that has no connection to an existing model.

7. Note that the Publish icon says Publish This Model To InfraWorks 360.

   If the model were still connected, the icon would say Sync Model Changes With InfraWorks 360.
