Autodesk InfraWorks

Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS (2026)

It models components of both the natural and built environment to enhance analysis, communicate design intent, and improve decision-making. InfraWorks can be integrated with other Autodesk software products such as Civil 3D, Revit, and Recap.

Workflow Processes:

Export InfraWorks Features to FGDB

Another method that you can use to create and share InfraWorks features in ArcGIS is to create a file geodatabase (FGDB). The Export to FGDB command saves the file geodatabase to a specified folder and it does not require an ArcGIS account or publishing privileges.

You can use the Export to FGDB command to export the following InfraWorks feature types to a file geodatabase that can be used in ArcGIS Online or in another application:
Barriers
Buildings
City Furniture
Coverages
Culverts
Drainage End Structures
Easements
Land Areas
Parcels
Parking Areas
Parking Rows
Pipelines
Pipe Connectors
Points of Interest (POIs)
Project Sites
Railways
Right of Ways
Roads
Streams
Traffic Study Areas
Trees
Water Areas
Watersheds
Import ArcGIS Data

Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS allows you to directly import ArcGIS data into your InfraWorks models. Depending on the type of data that is imported, you can configure the ArcGIS data to InfraWorks feature properties. Upon importing the ArcGIS data into InfraWorks the attribute data can be viewed in the object’s asset card. To remove and refresh ArcGIS datasets, use the Data Source Panel.
The following InfraWorks features can be imported from ArcGIS online:
Barriers
Buildings
City Furniture
Coverages
Culverts
Drainage End Structures
Easements
Parcels
Pipelines
Pipe Connectors
Points of Interest (POIs)
Railways
Right of Ways
Roads
Traffic Study Areas
Trees
Water Areas
Watersheds

NOTES:
See the InfraWorks online help page “About Roles and Privileges Required to Exchange Data with ArcGIS” to learn what permissions are needed to access data sources in ArcGIS online.
Edit ArcGIS Data in Infraworks

The Data Source Panel allows you to save edited InfraWorks features back to ArcGIS. Saving datasets back to ArcGIS requires an ArcGIS account with editing privileges. For more information, see About Roles and Privileges Required to Exchange Data with ArcGIS.
This Process steps through the tasks to edit and save back ArcGIS data. To edit the InfraWorks features you can use the respective InfraWorks tools, like grips. After editing the InfraWorks features save it back to the Dataset.
NOTES:
Some coordinate systems are not supported when publishing to ArcGIS or exporting to FGDB. If a model is assigned an unsupported coordinate system, publishing to ArcGIS or exporting to FGDB will not proceed. See Coordinate Systems Not Supported When Exchanging Data with ArcGIS. In addition, there are three categories of coordinate systems which are not supported:
Obsolete Coordinate Systems
Arbitrary X-Y Coordinate Systems
Test Only Coordinate Systems
Publish ArcGIS Data from InfraWorks

Publishing InfraWorks features to ArcGIS requires that you sign in to ArcGIS and then specify the InfraWorks feature to publish, define layers, add tags, and specify the publishing location. You can also specify whether to share the published content with your ArcGIS groups and whether it is editable. Publishing requires an ArcGIS account with publishing privileges. For more information, see About Roles and Privileges Required to Exchange Data with ArcGIS. After you publish content, it is available from your Content location in ArcGIS after you sign in.
This Process steps through the tasks to create a new ArcGIS dataset. If you have not already done so, you’ll need to install the ArcGIS Project Engine Data. Once that has been done, you can Create New Features and Publish to ArcGIS Online. Once the new features have been published as a new dataset in ArcGIS online, you’ll need to import the new dataset for further editing of the ArcGIS data in InfraWorks.
