Autodesk recently announced its latest releases: Autodesk InfraWorks and Autodesk Civil 3D 2019. The improvements are focused on providing opportunities for easier collaboration between users, better software interoperability and easier drawing of complex shapes.
Some of the updates allow for better interoperability between the two programs specifically. Users can now automatically import InfraWorks roads into Civil 3D as corridors, making the translation between the two faster and easier. And both pieces of software now boast a shared view: the ability to share documents online and have people comment on them, even without an Autodesk account. The updated InfraWorks includes several tool changes that make modeling easier and more accurate: new support for parametric tunnels, view-based settings for terrain contours and more complex bridge modeling. InfraWorks road data can now be sent seamlessly to an Autodesk Structural Bridge Design model, making it far easier for bridge designers to sync and analyze their designs. The update has also consolidated all the road modeling tools and allows changes to InfraWorks bridges to be dynamically updated in Revit in order to avoid losing all the detailed design…
