Generate features from point clouds
Extract linear features from point clouds. Export linear features, vertical features, and ground grid to Civil 3D.
Model existing environment
Create a large-scale model by aggregating existing data including 2D CAD, GIS, raster, and 3D models.
Generate terrain from point clouds
Build data into your model terrain.
Automated data import and model creation
Create base models from GIS, Raster, DGN, and SketchUp.
ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION
InfraWorks features
Flood simulation
Analyze flooding projects based on multiple inflow locations and water elevation changes over time.
2D distance and slope
Measure the distance (horizontal and vertical) and slope between two points in a model.
Traffic simulation
Analyze traffic flow, display traffic analysis results, and generate traffic simulation animations.
Material quantities
Calculate earthwork quantities on multiple selected roads, a station range, area of interest parcel, or right of way.
Mobility simulation
Create animated simulations of transit, parking, personal, and/or taxi-mode modeling.Â
Bridge line girder analysis
Perform a detailed analysis in the cloud.
VISUALISATION
InfraWorks features
Photorealistic visuals
Create realistic images and videos that helps improve understanding of how your project will perform.Â
Storyboarding and animations
Create presentations that include snapshot views, animations, perspective views, and fly-throughs.
PREVIOUS RELEASE FEATURES

Refined bridge analysis
Take bridge design beyond preliminary stages with grillage and finite element analysis.
Native LAS/LAZ format support
Import both LAS and LAZ point cloud data formats natively into InfraWorks.
Connector for ArcGIS
Select specific attributes when exporting a file geodatabase and publishing information to ArcGIS Online.
Model Builder UI
Experience a more cohesive Model Builder user interface with InfraWorks (2020.2) and later versions.
Road cross-section view
You can make better design decisions, thanks to the ability to view distinct surface layers in a cross section, such as soil layers.
Terrain contour views
Control terrain contours presentations through enhanced view settings.
Point clouds
Use photos to assist you when modeling features based on point cloud data.
Precision edits for profiles
Modify geometric values of a selected vertical curve in the Curve Properties panel in profile view.
Home page UI enhancements
Quickly access data with a centralized home page UI that is easier to use and incorporates BIM 360 projects.
Increased cross frame LOD
Reduce time needed to model complex components with automatic modeling of cross frames and diaphragms.
Bridge design
Rapidly develop multiple design options with powerful parametric modeling and automated documentation.
Support for complex bridges
New bridge bearings feature with customizable parametric capability supports complex bridge types.
Extend schema transfer between features
Add new types of features to your model and additional properties onto existing features for more aggregated models with deeper metadata.
Delayed model regeneration
Speed up editing workflows by delaying automatic model regeneration for road centerline modification.
Parametric tunnels
Model and design parametric tunnels in the context of your overall infrastructure design project.
Quantities
Calculate underground infrastructure quantities by depth.
Terrain enhancements
Create separate terrain surfaces and multiple types of subsurface layers, such as rock and subsoil, to use as a basis for design.
4K view
Use high DPI scaling optimized for 4K viewing of the InfraWorks interface.
Component road enhancements
Effectively validate corridor parameters and adjust lane component styles to meet design standards.
Corridor modeling
Use the power and precision of Civil 3D for corridor models in Infraworks.
