Introducing 2022 Civil 3D and InfraWorks New Releases

[lim.wendy]

Our 2022 releases for civil design come packed with new capabilities and updates. We’re most excited about:

• New capabilities advancing automation for site grading
• Enhanced conceptual design features for transportation workflows
• More streamlined multi-disciplinary bridge design workflows
• Updates driving project efficiency with Project Explorer and Model Builder
• Expanded reality capture capabilities to help convert the physical world to a digital model

Here are the top five reasons you should get excited about Civil 3D and InfraWorks (2022):

I can't see grading optimization tools in Civil 3D 2022 (see picture below). I cannot find any item in my AEC collection regarding this either. Would this be available later? A new download/item in AEC Colletion?

Or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance!

PS. Not available as extension either(?)

Exact same problem here. AEC licence but neither available via Desktop App or manage.autodesk.com.

Off to a good start... 🙂

I need a setup file because IT is involved installing on several workstations, but AVA download does not include C3D 2022. Does anyone have a direct link, or a way to use Autodesk Desktop App, to download a complete setup file?

thanks

It looks like the Project Explorer and Grading Optimization for Civil 3D 2022 is not available yet in the manage.autodesk.com under the 'Products and Services'.

Project Explorer is available. I was able to install it via manage.autodesk.com.

Grading Optimization is still missing though.

I'm having the same problem as the others. Project Explorer did load, but the 

grading optimization tool palette is not there. 

[AllenJessup]

I see them when I go to create a deployment using Custom Install.

[rmkaack-jvb]

do i have to uninstall and then re-install to get them? if I go to my desktop app it is grayed out because it's already installed.  i don't have those options in my app. 

[Alex_Figueres]

Both Project Explorer and Gradin Optimization are available now at the Desktop App and in my Autodesk account.

[cwr001]

I still can't access it (neither, nor).

[rmkaack-jvb]

It was in mine this morning as well.

Keep checking every day. They don't 'fulfill' every account at once.

@lim.wendy Off to a great start with Infraworks 2022 - asking for a license server but I have a standalone single user setup - any ideas apart from reinstalling 2021 which worked with no issues...!!!!

Cancelling the dialog seems to allow me open IW models but I can't select anything and I'm not asked if I want to upgrade which is a bit of a concern...!!!

Always emphasizing presentation enhancements. I am one of the guys that has to turn those pretty marketing presentations into a real solution. We need the tools to produce precise models and construction documents efficiently. The grading tools are horrible and everyone seems to think corridors is a good workaround. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Project Explorer, Dynamo? They don't do anything to address the problems with the fundamental tools that we have been ranting about since the beginning. I swear I would dump this product in a heartbeat if there was a viable alternative.

Not even one enhancement impresses me.

Hi @neilyj666,

Thanks for reaching out and reporting this. I saw you submitted a case too. I've informed the product and support team. Will update you. 

[neilyj666]

@Neilw_05 you forgot to mention the Cloud connectivity and collaboration tools that everyone apparently wants. I just wish they'd sort out grading objects so they didn't crash all the time but it looks like the grading optimisation tool is being pushed instead..!!!!

@neilyj666 and for those having an issue with IW 2022 Standalone asking for a license server, please refer to this forum post for updates:

@neilyj666 

you have to upgrade your license manager to run 2022 products. see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/autodesk-network-license-manager-2022/td-p/101...
