Browsing for i-models

When you select the Browse button from the File Open screen, you can access i-models from a number of locations. By default this screen only shows Computer and Personal Share. If you are using the mobile version, only On Device displays. When you select a project with Project Sharing Services enabled, there is an additional row for the share. You can add additional locations by selecting the Connect Server button in the upper right corner of the screen. For more information, go to Connecting to a Server. You can return to the File Open screen by selecting the < Open link in the upper left. From the File Open screen, you can also access i-models from Project Share.

When you select the Computer entry, a File Open dialog displays. Navigate to the folder where your i-model is stored and select it. There maybe a pause between selecting the file and opening the view because depending on its location, the i-model may need to be downloaded.

Once you open a file, it displays in the Recent list in the File Open screen along with a folder shortcut entry in the left column. The folder shortcut takes you to a screen where you can see all of the i-models stored in that directory. This provides quick access to these locations and related files.
