InfraWorks 2018 makes building bridges easier with tools that are at your fingertips.
Autodesk has announced the arrival of the latest updates for its building information modeling and infrastructure design tools InfraWorks and AutoCAD Civil 3D. In this major release, Autodesk has made significant upgrades to both software packages, making it much easier to build vivid overviews of building projects, create accurate project cost analysis, make roadway design easier and more.
What’s New in InfraWorks 2018
This year’s edition of InfraWorks continues to expand the software’s modeling capabilities and upgrades the user’s experience with the product. The first major improvement to the package gives designers greater control over bridge construction. Now users can manage Inventor-based bridge components directly from the style palette. This improvement makes it easier to work with parametric components like decks, piers and girders by putting essential bridge components right at the designer’s fingertips.
Material quantities have also come under Autodesk’s scrutiny, and now designers can quantify a greater number of aspects of materials used in the modeling of roadways, bridges and drainage systems. Once material quantities are calculated by InfraWorks, these numbers can be exported to a CSV file, where they can be used in design reviews, material reporting and material cost estimation.
