Update the Civil 3D Model with Design Changes from InfraWorks

RUSS NICLOY: Now as it stands, this

00:17

is information that came from InfraWorks.

00:20

I'm going to return to InfraWorks

00:22

because as I was doing that, our road and bridge designers were

00:26

looking at the roadway here.

00:28

I want to do something a little bit away from our bridge.

00:31

And first of all, we realized that there was no curve here,

00:34

so I'm going to add a curve in.

00:38

I'll give it a length.

00:40

And they decided-- we need to reposition

00:43

this roadway a little bit, so I'm

00:44

going to shift that over a little bit closer to the hill.

00:48

We're going to cut into the hill a little bit

00:50

to put this roadway in.

00:52

I am also going to left click to rebuild that portion of it.

00:58

I am also going to come over to the bridge area

01:02

here and wait for the bridge to rebuild itself there.

01:11

I did notice that the bridge pier here is not quite

01:15

where I want it to be yet, even though I

01:16

went into that spreadsheet.

01:19

So I'm going to spread that out just a little bit more

01:21

and left click and drop that in.

01:24

I will then go up to the Present and Share tab again

01:27

to share this out.

01:28

I'll share with the Export to IMX.

01:31

And in here, I'll go to the Start

01:33

with Recent Export at the very top.

01:35

I'll click the dropdown.

01:36

And there, you will see the file that we exported earlier.

01:39

When I left click that, all of the settings that I chose

01:42

will be placed in the dialog box.

01:45

I can hit Export and replace the original file

01:48

that we were working with.

01:50

And again, this will take a little while

01:51

because it has to recalculate all of that information

01:54

as it exports and writes that file.

01:57

And when that's done exporting, I'm

01:58

going to shift back over to Civil 3D.

02:01

And in here, I'm going to look at the change to the bridge

02:03

first.

02:05

You can see the piers, there's a pier foot here.

02:09

I know there's a lot of things going on here,

02:11

but you can see it if you focus on it.

02:14

There's the pier right there.

02:15

This piers is the one that I just shifted.

02:18

I'm going to come up to show changes from InfraWorks

02:22

to the bridge model itself, not to the roadway

02:25

but to the bridge model itself.

02:26

I'm going to go to the Insert tab of the ribbon in Civil 3D,

02:30

the InfraWorks Panel, the panel pull down,

02:32

and choose the Manage InfraWorks Data Sets.

02:37

I'll click on that.

02:38

And in here, it lists that file out, the IMX file that we used.

02:42

It's letting us know that the status is unknown

02:45

and where the saved path is.

02:46

I'm going to checkmark that, and that opens up

02:49

the reload option.

02:50

I'll click reload.

02:53

Now, watch this piers right here shift over.

02:56

It has now updated the bridge design portion of this.

03:06

Now, I'm going to zoom and pan over to our roadway over here.

03:15

For this, I'm going to go to the InfraWorks tab, Import IMX.

03:20

I'm just going to re-import that IMX file and open that up.

03:29

And it does bring all of the IMX file in again.

03:32

I am going to, again, select the roadway--

03:36

the waterway.

03:36

I'll right click Select Similar, and delete that, and Zoom in.

03:42

So it did bring that roadway in with that curve.

03:45

Now unfortunately, it is bringing a second version

03:48

of that corridor in.

03:49

And we want the original one to work with.

03:51

So I'll select on the new one and delete that out so

03:55

that we can work on the corridor as it moves through this area

03:59

here.
