About Collaboration

You can collaborate on your Autodesk InfraWorks models in the cloud with Autodesk Docs and Shared Views. If you do not have an Autodesk Docs account with access to an Autodesk Docs project, there is a local collaboration option available as well.

Cloud collaboration

Autodesk Docs Management

Users of Autodesk InfraWorks can collaborate on their InfraWorks models in the cloud provided that they have an Autodesk Docs account, and permission to collaborate in an Autodesk Docs project. You can subscribe to Autodesk Docs or sign up for a free trial, here: Subscribe.

Note: You can find tools related to cloud collaboration in the InfraWorks Utility Bar.

Autodesk InfraWorks uses Autodesk Docs to:

Store all of your design data in one shared location.
Publish and synchronize your InfraWorks models to the Autodesk Docs project of your choosing.
Display online views of your Autodesk InfraWorks models in a web browser with the Autodesk Viewer.

Note: When you publish an InfraWorks model to an Autodesk Docs project, a web view of your model will be created.

Note: See About Autodesk Docs for more information.

Shared Views

A shared view is an online visual representation of your Autodesk InfraWorks model. With a subscription to Autodesk InfraWorks, you can create, upload, and distribute shared views that can be viewed and commented on in a web browser. An email is sent to you when anyone comments on a shared view you created. You can view and reply to comments directly from Autodesk InfraWorks. New comments must be added in Autodesk Viewer.

Upload a shared view free of any intellectual property.
Anyone can view and comment on a shared view in a web browser.
A shared view will expire after 30 days by default.

Note: See About Shared Views for more information.

Local collaboration

Local models are stored on your local system or a mapped network drive, but are not associated with an Autodesk Docs account or project. You can share the .SQLITE model file and associated model resource folders directly with others to collaborate on a model offline.
