One core new capability is linear feature extraction, which enhances the design potential of point clouds by employing them as the basis for key embellishments.
Users can now create important design items such as breaklines and paint stripes by first extracting linear features from point clouds.
The Automatic option further enhances the usability of the linear feature extraction by finding and tracing a line in 3D once users select just two of the points situated in the point cloud.
In addition to automating the delineation of linear features contained within the point cloud, the latest upgrade of InfraWorks also provides new tools for the creation and modification of design items based on these linear features, such as breaklines.

These tools include a cross-section view of linear features, as well as the ability to export linear features, vertical features and the ground grid into Autodesk’s Civil 3D, where designers and engineers can obtain a more accurate sense of the real-world conditions that underlie a project.
Autodesk has also upgraded the roadwork quantification capability in InfraWorks, enabling users to perform assessments with greater ease at a larger scale as well as conduct more precise, small-scale calculations.
Users can now select multiple roads at once in order to calculate the earthwork and material quantities…
