@Anonymous Can you add some screen capture? I was able to access it via manage.autodesk.com

Many thanks, I have forwarded to the license administrator to solve. Think that don't have the required permissions to download the updates.

Hi, as a follow up to my previous question (and after the solution); I installed the Autodesk app to my desk top and was able to install the Autodesk infraworks updater plugin' this way. I also installed the revit add ins available but am still struggling to export my bridge model to Revit. There is no "Send to Revit" option when I right click (but there is a "Publish Civil Structures" - "Create New" option.  This only allows me to create a bridge.imx file. This I can then import to Revit (Add ins > Import Civil Structures > bridge.imx). This brings in the model, but I cant edit anything as all the elements are "Direct shapes"(??).  Please advise what I am doing wrong as it is driving me mad! Software used is Infraworks 2022 and Revit 2022

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 

The Send to Revit command was changed to Publish Civil Structures in the latest release.  So you have the workflow correct.  The bridge is exported to IMX and then the IMX is imported into Revit with the plugin.  The elements can not be edited once in Revit.  The only things you can really do in Revit with the bridge elements is add rebar, dimensioning, creating sections, views etc.  If a bridge element needs to be changed then that change needs to happen in Infraworks.  Once the element is changed in Infraworks you can run the command Publish Civil Structures -> Update Existing.  This will update the existing IMX file which will then in turn update the bridge in Revit.  You will get a pop up dialog in Revit that says the bridge has been updated.  Once you hit Ok to that then the bridge gets updated in Revit.  I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions in regards to that workflow.

Thanks,

Thanks Jim,

Was the infraworks model previously exported to Revit as editable families? I am very new to the software, but this seems like a step backwards if that is the case.

Hi @Anonymous 

No we didn't previously use Revit Families, we've been using direct shape since the beginning.  We are in the process of investigating using Revit families.  It is definitely on the roadmap cause we know a lot customers would like to use/reuse editable Revit families.

Thanks,
