Preliminary Design - Component Road Workflow to Civil 3D

[fcernst]

To have a true Preliminary to Final Design efficient workflow with Civil 3D "as advertised"... we need to have Component roads come into Civil 3D as Corridors....ready to go to work.

The lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalk, shoulders, median, and other Components in Infraworks should  be mapped and automatically converted to their corresponding logical subassemblies in Civil 3D.

Such as:

Infraworks                                     Civil 3D

Lanes  >>                      Subassembly.LaneSuperelevationAOR

Curb and gutter >>       Subassembly.UrbanCurbGutterGeneral

Shoulder >>                  Subassembly.ShoulderExtendAll

Roadside Grading >>     Subassembly.DaylightMultiIntercept

Median >>                     Subassembly.MedianRaisedWithCrown

etc..

I would go one step further.

The user should have the possibility to use a configuration xml-template for the conversion of the subassembleys of InfraWorks to Civil 3D (like the template of the Civil-styles). And of course that includes that there is a "InfraWorks subassembleys country Kit" that is converted in the "Civil subassembleys Country Kit".

I agree. It is such a shame that roads need to be built separately in both software and corridors are not part of the exchange.

I think it would be great if I could build up the roads in Infraworks and when all of it is exported to Civil, I would end up with a road corridor and the preliminary assemblies.

@fcernst @peterfarkas @Anonymous Thank you for the feedback!  

I am a UX designer from InfraWorks.

@fcernst  Could you share me a complete mapping list? It's very valuable for our team. 

Thanks,

Mara

Can you please let us know if the latest (IW 21.0/IW21.1) corridor workflow address this?
