Rename Autodesk Infraworks 360 Model

Paul Storm | Application Engineer

It is not that straightforward to change the name of an Infraworks model that is stored on BIM 360 Design.

Firstly, you need to change the name on the database file and its associated backup folder. This in one your hard drive. Secondly, you need to change the file name and backup folder on BIM 360. After that, one just opens up Infraworks again and open the file. It does take a bit of time to prepare the file, but after that it’s a go.

The interplay between Infraworks and Civil 3D is much improved, and I urge you to investigate this. BIM 360 is also continuously being improved. When Civil 3D files are opened on BIM 360, they now automatically lock themselves! That is great news.

If you need help using your AEC collection and Infraworks on BIM 360, please give Micrographics a call so we may be of assistance.
