Introducing InfraWorks

Identify how InfraWorks can be used in the conceptual design process. 


00:04

InfraWorks is a powerful conceptual design software in which you can model, analyze,

00:10

and visualize preliminary design proposals within the context of their natural and built environments.

00:18

It allows you to create and share your designs with collaborators and stakeholders easily in the cloud.

00:25

Using InfraWorks, you can create a three-dimensional model that is associated with real-world data, coordinates, and conditions.

00:34

This allows you to leverage existing data from many industry-standard sources,

00:40

including CAD, GIS, vector and raster data, point cloud data, and even Revit models.

00:48

It is important to note that InfraWorks will display GIS data easily, but to edit or manage the GIS data,

00:56

you must have the Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS installed.

01:01

You can create multiple detailed design proposals that can be shared with project team members and stakeholders

01:08

to easily collaborate and compare design alternatives.

01:12

Its features, themes, and atmospheric effects add realism,

01:17

which helps your stakeholders and collaborators to easily visualize your design proposals.

01:23

Site design, roadway design, civil structures, and drainage can all be added to your model for preliminary analysis.

01:32

It even contains a mobility simulation engine that allows you to create animated simulations of transit,

01:40

parking, personal, and/or taxi-mode modeling.

01:45

It is important to note that InfraWorks is for conceptual design and planning analysis only.

01:52

However, once a preliminary design model has been chosen,

01:55

you can export it from InfraWorks into Civil 3D to use the features you created as a starting point for the detailed design work.
