Have you tried

In this month’s edition of our Have You Tried series, we’ll be taking a close look at the Shared Reference Point extension for Civil 3D and Revit. Civil 3D and Revit manage coordinate systems in different ways. Because of the difference in coordinate systems, using the shared reference point extension can greatly improve the organization […]

For this edition of our Have You Tried series, let’s take a closer look at the Linear Feature Extraction workflow in InfraWorks.  Extraction of linear information such as breaklines, edges, building footprints, and property boundaries from point clouds or other data can be very valuable when performing conceptual design and detailed design.   The Linear Feature Extraction in InfraWorks allows users to quickly extract line or linear features from an InfraWorks terrain , incorporate them into their InfraWorks model, and export them for use in other products like Civil 3D.   […]

In the Have You Tried for this month, we cover a new extension in Civil 3D – Project Explorer.    Being able to manage a big amount of project data in your Civil 3D drawings can be tricky at times and is extremely difficult. Let’s take a look at how Project Explorer can help you streamline your workflows.  What is it?  Project Explorer is an all-in-one hub for managing […]

Bring your InfraWorks models to life like never before!  Our latest Have You Tried topic is all about Vegetation in InfraWorks. This amazing feature helps fully capture the look, function, and design of your infrastructure projects including roads, highways, or site development. Creating a more complete vision of the model.  Adding plants, trees, terrain features, and other vegetation generate a landscape appeal to your drawing. InfraWorks 2022 release, offers new 3D ground cover models such as flowers, bushes, and grasses.   Vegetation feature helps provide stakeholders with a better […]

Are you looking for ways to simplify the complex design process of a rail system? We’ve got you covered.  Our latest Have You Tried article is all about rail design in Civil 3D. We’ll cover all the features you need and walk you through how to use them.  Here’s a quick look at each of the rail features and what they do:  Alignment: Design rail alignments by […]

In this edition of “Have You Tried”, we discuss a great feature in InfraWorks called subsurface terrain.   Civil infrastructure projects can be subject to change depending on the make-up of the surface on which they’re built. To better illustrate the thickness and density of their projects’ subsurface terrain, civil engineering professionals can use InfraWorks to add, view, and hide subterranean layers to their models. Adding subsurface terrain layers helps ensure safety and stability while avoiding future complications. Why use it?  The subsurface terrain feature is […]

Enhancing your experience with Civil 3D is our top priority. We are aware that your drawings go through multiple edits before the final product. We also understand that keeping track of all the changes you’ve made to different versions of a drawing can be challenging.  We have just released our latest Have You Tried topic covering DWG Compare feature in Civil 3D. […]

Each month, we profile a useful feature or workflow in InfraWorks. We look across what’s new, what’s been around for a while, and identify features that could improve your experience with InfraWorks while making you and your team more productive.  Collaboration sits at the foundation of every successful infrastructure design project. With people working remotely more today than […]
