1. Directory structure on Workgroup Data Server

   We are working with more and more people, projects and countries on the same Workgroup Data Server, as the cost of a new server for each country are quite high. Unfortunately, there is no way to somehow make a directory structure on the Workgroup Data Server so we can arrange things by country for example. For now, a country prefix in front of a project works, but with hundreds of projects on the server this is not optimal.

   This is now available with the 2021.1 release of InfoWorks ICM. Please do reach out with any feedback.

2. License management functions

   As ICM is fundamentally a workgroup environment, so shared across multiple offices and multiple users, we need to be able to understand license usage of user interfaces and simulation engines. We need ICM to log usage so we can then develop tools to interpret that information or build this into ICM so we can see usage. We often have instances when users cannot get licenses but there is no way to log this so we can establish a business case for purchasing more licenses. Similar with simulation engines we need to be able to report usage to demonstrate the need to invest in more processing ability/licenses.
   Ideally we need ICM to log usage:
   username
   license type (Viewer/1D/2D/sim etc)
   start of session
   end of session
   total licenses in use

   We can then use this information to generate live reports for users and managers of the system and provide forecasts in demand
   Thanks

   Marking this idea completed.   With the introduction of the Innovyze License Administrator, users and administrators can get license usage.

   With named-user licensing in the Autodesk subscription world, including the introduction in March 2022 of Flex Access, accessing InfoWorks ICM is far easier and in reach to more customers. 

   
   

   
   

3. cut polygon

   It would be nice to have a function in ICM to cut a polygon into 2 pieces by 'drawing' a line Select the polygon object, start the function, then click along the line you want the polygon to be cut into 2 pieces. Both of the resulting pieces should have the properties of the original one.

   I believe what you are looking for may already be feasible using existing functionality. If there is a polygon with a general line object intersecting it, then you can.

   1. Select both objects
   2. Go to Model > Geometry > Crop overlapping selected objects
   3. Reference the entire selection in both drop targets
   4. Press “Ok” and the result should be two polygon objects as per the line intersection

   There are some additional options here which can be enabled or disabled as part of the process. If this feature does not meet your needs, then happy to consider further enhancements to it, but for a modelling solution hopefully the geometry functions are already fairly advanced.

4. Floating licence manager improvements

   Updating the floating licence manager (which has to happen occasionally) is very difficult to organise because all licences (clients, engines, …) need to be checked in prior to the update to avoid corruption of the system. In a large company with many users (if not the majority of them) working remotely, this is almost impossible to achieve. So either there should be more flexibility in the update system, or there should be a functionality for a system administrator to force check-in licences if users don't react at the request.

   With updating licensing coming in 2021, the need to “update” licenses becomes a purely back office issue that removes the need to manually update the license manager.

   We’ve avoided this issue by removing the need to force upgrade the licenses. This improvement will retire the floating license manager process by the 2nd half of the 2021 year.

   Expect to hear more soon…
