What’s Autodesk Informed Design?
Autodesk Informed Design is a cloud-based solution that connects design and manufacturing workflows to streamline the building design and construction process. Informed Design allows architects to work with customizable, pre-defined building products that help the user yield valid manufacturable results and allow manufacturers to share their products with design stakeholders. Informed Design unlocks industrialized construction – the application of manufacturing principles to the built environment – and will help transform the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry.
Delivering a connected workflow with Autodesk Informed Design
The Autodesk Informed Design offerings are available as follows:
- Autodesk Informed Design Add-in for Inventor
- Autodesk Informed Design Add-in for Revit
- Autodesk Informed Design Web Application Platform
Autodesk Informed Design for Inventor
Autodesk Informed Design for Inventor enables product managers and product engineers to align their manufacturing capabilities with customer requirements. This add-in for Inventor provides a more streamlined design and manufacturing process.
Key Capabilities:
- Seamless collaboration: Collaborate with designers by creating parametric models of your building products that only allow compliant product configurations to be used.
- Powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) content creation directly in Inventor: Define BIM content to confirm your building products meet project requirements and are compatible with other components and industry standards.
- Streamlined product documentation: Simplify the generation of product documentation at scale and generate the necessary outputs for fabrication.
Architects can now effortlessly incorporate your products into their designs by integrating your product dimensions, weights, materials, and other critical information into the Revit environment via the Informed Design for Revit add-in. This collaboration ensures that your products are accurately represented and compliant with project requirements, providing designers with the confidence to design with certainty.
What you can do with Informed Design for Inventor
Author manufacturing constraints
With Informed Design for Inventor, you can define rules visually using code blocks to limit building product customization based on manufacturing capabilities. This ensures that any customizations made to the product remain within your manufacturing processes’ allowable limits.
During the authoring process, you can preview and test the rules to confirm correct parameter validation and model updates in response to edits. This feature helps ensure that all customizations adhere to the defined manufacturing constraints before finalizing the product design.

Set output type availability
Define the range of output types that your building product can produce. This allows you to control the available outputs, ensuring that they meet the specific needs of your manufacturing and documentation processes.
Manage work-in-progress versions
Informed Design for Inventor allows you to create multiple product definitions per Product, enabling you to iterate and experiment or release context-specific variations of a manufacturing-constrained product. This flexibility supports the ongoing development and refinement of product designs.
