design feed Design Feed is like a live chat window that you can use to com-
municate with others working on the same models as you. You must be signed
in to InfraWorks 360 to use the Design Feed. If you are not signed in, this icon
will appear gray instead of white.
Publish/sync With this function you can publish your model to the InfraWorks
360 cloud service. Once it has been published, this icon serves a Sync function—
exchanging updates between your local version of the model and the one stored in
the cloud. You must be signed in to InfraWorks 360 to use this icon. If you are not
signed in, this icon will appear gray instead of white.
Current Proposal You'll learn more about proposals later on in the topic, but
for now you can think of a proposal as a version of your design. This function
shows you which version is currently being displayed and also lets you change
the current version.
undo Just like it sounds, this tool is used to undo an edit you've made to the
model. If there is nothing to undo (for example, if you've just opened the model
and haven't made any changes) then the icon will appear gray instead of white.
redo If you change your mind about an Undo, you can use Redo to reverse it.
If there is nothing to redo, this icon will appear gray.
Model explorer Model Explorer presents the different elements of your model
in a type of tree view. It enables you to control the visibility, display, selectability,
and other things about parts of your model.
Bookmarks A bookmark is a saved view of your model. It remembers the location
of your viewpoint, the direction you were viewing, and the amount that you were
zoomed in or out. Models can become complex and navigation can be tricky so hav-
ing a quick way to move around to key locations in the model can be very useful.
full-screen Mode In full-screen mode the top bar of the InfraWorks window
will disappear (not the Utility Bar, the part above that) and the InfraWorks win-
dow will take up all of the available space on the current monitor, obscuring
everything underneath. This includes the Windows task bar. This button serves
as a toggle switching between full-screen mode and normal mode.
edit Mode As you'll learn, InfraWorks operates in two modes when selecting
objects: edit mode and select mode. In edit mode you get more editing options
such as graphical editing 'handles' called gizmos and an extended shortcut
menu. In select mode an object simply highlights in yellow and the shortcut
menu is much simpler. This button turns edit mode on and its counterpart (cov-
ered next) turns select mode on.
