Autodesk InfraWorks 2026

Features of Autodesk InfraWorks 2026:

• Model Builder: Quickly create 3D conceptual models of existing infrastructure from GIS data, CAD data, and other sources (e.g., OpenStreetMap, elevation data).
• Conceptual Design Tools: Rapidly create and iterate on design proposals for roads, bridges, railways, urban developments, and waterways.
• Contextual Modeling: Automatically generate 3D models of existing conditions (terrain, buildings, roads, water bodies) from real-world data sources.
• Road Design: Tools for conceptual road layout, profile generation, intersection design, and roundabout creation.
• Bridge Design: Integrated tools for conceptual bridge design, including parametric components and analysis.
• Drainage Design: Conceptual drainage analysis and design capabilities.
• Visualizations & Renderings: Create compelling visual presentations, including high-quality renderings, walkthroughs, and flythroughs.
• Analysis Tools: Perform basic traffic simulation, flood analysis, shadow analysis, and line-of-sight analysis.
• Scenario Management: Develop and compare multiple design alternatives within the same model.
• Collaboration: Share models and proposals with stakeholders using cloud-based collaboration tools.
• GIS Integration: Direct integration with GIS data for accurate context modeling and analysis.
• Interoperability: Seamlessly transfer conceptual designs to detailed design tools like AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, and Inventor for further refinement.
• Thematic Mapping: Apply visual styles and themes based on model attributes for better communication of design intent.
