A model is only published to the cloud once. Each group member can then download a copy of the model. Changes made to copies by group members can be synced to the cloud model.
- Open the model.
- Sign-in to InfraWorks 360, if not signed-in.
Optionally: Check Manage Online Models for space in your account to accommodate the model. For more information, see To view model information.
- Click
to open the Publish Model dialog box. If the model has been published, InfraWorks 360 opens the Synchronize Model panel.
- Select the design group to share this model.
If you belong to more than one group, select the group from the Group menu.
- Select which model elements to publish at this time.
By default, only the master model and Common Resources are published. You can sync the model later to include scenarios, web views, and proposals.
- Common Resources apply to all proposals (including the master). They include scenario definitions, storyboards, bookmarks, themes, and settings on the Model Explorer. You cannot clear the Common Resources selection because each model requires these items to be present. When you sync a model, you can specify whether to sync Common Resources.
- Optionally, enter comments or a description in the Publishing Notes area.
- Click Publish.
The model's tile status icon on InfraWorks Home changes from home (local) to connected (cloud).
Advanced Tips
Publishing can take a long time depending on the amount of data involved. Large raster or point cloud data sources can slow publishing. During a long publishing operation, the model's tile might appear on InfraWorks 360 home, but it will display as 0 bytes. If a group member tries to download or delete the model before publishing is complete, an error message indicates the model is locked. A model can also be locked during a long download or sync operation. Model locking does not block a group member from synchronizing non-raster-based changes.
