In-Depth Information
export fBX
Export your model to FBX file format. This is a 3D
visualization format that can be read by many Autodesk programs
including Navisworks
®
and 3ds Max
®
.
export IMX
Export your model to IMX file format. IMX format
is good for including engineering information like profile and
alignment data for roads.
resume regeneration
At times you may need to regenerate
the model and this operation can take time if the model is large
or complex. If you have to interrupt the regeneration process, this
command lets you pick up where you left off.
regenerate
Rebuild the display of the model to update what
you see. Most things that you do will appear automatically in the
model but some operations require the model to be regenerated for
you to see the results.
update thumbnail
The thumbnail referred to here is the small
image of your project that you see on the Start Page. You can zoom to
a certain view in your model and click this icon to update that image.
Model Properties
This icon opens a dialog where you can con-
trol settings that are unique to the model you're working in. These
include display settings, units, and so on.
Create & run scripts
For the advanced user, InfraWorks allows
the writing and application of custom scripts to automate certain
tasks. This icon opens the Scripting panel where you can compose
and manage scripts.
disconnect Model
InfraWorks models can be published to the
cloud at which time the local version becomes connected to the
cloud version. This tool can be used to break that connection cre-
ating an independent local model.
Application options
From here you can control program
options such as units, 3D display configuration, and many others.
Message Log
At times InfraWorks will share information about
what is going on in the Message Log. This can be a helpful tool when
troubleshooting a model that isn't behaving the way you expect it to.
