Infraworks Cannot Select Objects and Get the Gizmo to Show

Ryan Wunderlich

Applies to:
All Infraworks Versions

Issue:
You open an Infraworks model and select on an object and modify gizmo doesn’t appear
Gizmos showing:
 

Gizmos not showing:
 

Causes:
This problem is usually tied to the View settings

Solution:
First Step is to check the View Settings
Click on the View Dropdown and select the Gear Wheel
 

In the View Settings make sure this Edit mode is toggled on for that View
 

Typically, this is turned off when this occurs, and it’s an Infraworks Model setting, not a global setting.
You can also simply switch to a different view (Engineering View instead of Conceptual View) and see if the Edit Gizmo now becomes available.
