InfraWorks: Model building and infrastructure design concepts with real-world context

Download free trial

What is Autodesk InfraWorks?

Autodesk InfraWorks conceptual design software helps you model and understand design projects in context. Use it to:

Aggregate large amounts of data to generate information-rich context models.

Visualize conceptual design options for roadway, rail and transit, civil structures, and water infrastructure projects.

Analyze traffic flow across cities and conduct line-of-sight studies to visualize impacts of design changes.
