Autodesk Update: What’s New in InfraWorks (2018.1)

Only just 2.5 months ago, we released new capabilities in InfraWorks (2018.0). Here we are again, with some more good stuff to share with you in this latest rev of InfraWorks. But first of all, if you already subscribe to InfraWorks, you can get this latest release by going to manage.autodesk.com.

New to InfraWorks? Grab the 30-day trial and take it for a test drive.

New! Linear Feature Extraction

Now, in InfraWorks it is possible to extract linear features from point clouds to create breaklines, paint stripes, and more. In addition, with the Automatic option, pick two points on a feature in the point cloud, and InfraWorks will find and follow the line for you – in 3D of course!  Also, this new capability introduces the new Linear Feature object to InfraWorks.

Linear Features (Extended Functionality)

Not only will InfraWorks automatically follow linear features in the point cloud, this latest release also delivers advanced tools to create and modify breaklines and other linear features – including cross section views for linear features from point clouds. Then linear features, vertical features, and ground grid can be exported for use in Civil 3D where a more accurate representation of existing conditions can be established for use in your design project.

Quantities

In this latest release of InfraWorks we made it possible to select multiple roads and calculate earthwork and material quantities on all of them, at once! And, if you want to calculate quantities for a certain area of your roadway project, now worries. Now, you can specific a station range and calculate both earthwork and material quantities for just that area you’re interested in. You can even calculate quantities for particular areas of interest such as a parcel, right of way, or easement.

Labels

The ability to control the appearance of labels using Views is another enhancement in this latest release of InfraWorks. In InfraWorks, labels are now automatically displayed (or not) depending on the current View of your project – conceptual or engineering. Oh, should you so choose, labels can be turned on or off within a View. Finally, we’re also improving clarity when stations are labeled along the road and the automatic labeling of key bridge dimensions whenever you select a bridge or bridge component.

New! Parts Editor

The new Parts Editor in InfraWorks allows for the management of pipe and structure libraries as well as the creation of custom parts.  Modify out-of-the box parts to create different size variations, or even create new custom parts with Inventor and export them using a free Inventor plug-in that installs with InfraWorks.

New! Parametric Components

Now, InfraWorks users can benefit from almost limitless configurations for bridge rails, barriers, and more. What’s more, road decorations can now be added using parametric models.  Users can even create their own parametric models in Inventor and make them part of their component road designs.
