To open an existing model

Open an existing model from InfraWorks 360 Home or from Manage On-line Models.

To open an existing model from InfraWorks 360 Home, click on the model tile for the desired model.

Note: It's recommended to make a copy of 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.

If you don't see a tile for a model, check your filter settings on the drop-down menu.

Filter Models

Filter the display of model tiles by Date, Name or Author. You can also find a model b y entering keywords in the search bar. See InfraWorks Home for more about filtering models.

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.
