The Refresh command updates the InfraWorks model data from the ArcGIS Online data.
00:10
Keep in mind that this is the opposite of the Save Back command, which updates ArgGIS data from InfraWorks.
00:17
Start by making subtle pipe diameter changes in your InfraWorks model
00:21
and using Save Back to apply feature data updates from the model to the ArcGIS Online data.
00:27
Now, you are ready to check the changes you just pushed to ArcGIS Online using the Refresh command.
00:33
To do this, from the Data Sources panel, locate the pipe structure.
00:38
Right-click and select Refresh…
00:41
InfraWorks then automatically updates the size of the pipe to the recorded value in ArcGIS Online.
00:49
In this instance, it is a subtle change, but notice that all the diameter updates come in accurately.
00:55
It is also important to keep in mind that, if pipe data gets updated by a GIS analyst to reflect a change,
01:01
InfraWorks maintains a live link to the revised data.
01:04
So, if revisions occur, all you need to do is refresh.
01:09
For example, in the Data Sources panel, right-click Pipe and select Refresh….
01:14
Then, any attributes that the GIS analyst modified will update in your InfraWorks model.
01:20
Once again, the Refresh command updates the data in InfraWorks from ArcGIS,
01:26
and Save Back works the opposite to update the ArcGIS data from InfraWorks.
01:31
Using Refresh lets you easily check on updates you or other GIS analysts make and push to ArcGIS Online.
