How does InfraWorks 360 work when I am not connected to the internet?
If you have a subscription to InfraWorks 360, or are using an InfraWorks 360 30-day free trial, you can use InfraWorks 360 without an internet connection for up to 14 days between log-ins. However, it is important to note that you must have an internet connection when you install and sign-in to InfraWorks 360 for the first time, so that you can activate your InfraWorks 360 access. Once you have logged-in to InfraWorks 360, you can disconnect from the internet for up to 14 days before the application will prompt you to connect to the internet again, and verify your login. The same also applies to free users of Presenter Mode for InfraWorks 360.
How can I access my models when I am not connected to the internet?
Without an internet connection, you can only access locally-stored models that are either stored directly on your local system, or mapped to a network drive. In order to access a local model, you will need to either have access to the model SQLITE file and associated resources, or have a local copy of a model available to you on InfraWorks 360 home. To make a local copy of a cloud model, such as a model created by the Model Builder, you must first have an internet connection to download and open a cloud model. You can duplicate a cloud model when you are connected to the internet, which creates a disconnected, local copy of that cloud model (duplicating a shared model is not available to members of a design group with "Reader" access rights. See: About Collaboration for more information). If you are a user of Presenter Mode for InfraWorks 360, you will not be able to accept invitations to access shared models until you are connected to the internet.
You can also build models from scratch if you have access to your own data sources. This does not require internet access, although cloud import options will not be available when you are offline.
Which InfraWorks 360 services will function when I am offline?
Any type of InfraWorks 360 design or analysis tool that requires cloud services, such as the Model Builder, Corridor Optimization, Line Girder Analysis, Traffic Simulation, Watershed Analysis, and Publish/Sync operations will not function without a valid Autodesk 360 account and an internet connection. If you attempt to use an InfraWorks 360 tool that requires an internet connection, you will be notified that you must connect to the internet in order to use it.
What happens to the work I do when I am offline? Will InfraWorks 360 save my work even when I am not connected to the internet?
InfraWorks 360 saves your progress while you work, regardless of whether you are online or offline. If you make good progress on your designs while offline, but need to get back to using cloud services and collaboration tools, you can always plug into the internet and resume using cloud services on all of your models, without losing data.

@elliott.rosenfeld i know this is post is pretty old. But jsut curious if this is still the current functionality in Infraworks 360 2019 and 2020?
Also another question, when we will be able to use presenter mode on locally avaiable models offline? Currenlty i think local modles can't be opened in presenter mode.
