Yes please. This is something that has been ignored. Retaining walls are used all the time in Transportation! And if I need one that's in front of an Abutment of a Bridge... I'm out of luck. This should be a simple enough implementation.
In the latest release of InfraWorks (2018.1), we extended the support of parametric Inventor based custom component authoring to handle Inventor assemblies, in addition to parts. This allows for the modeling of more complex components. In particular, as shown in the image below, typical retaining walls can be included with custom abutment models. At a later date, we will add the ability to model retaining walls in a dedicated workflow in InfraWorks. We are investigating different approaches to handle the corresponding grading requirements such that wing walls and retaining walls are accounted for in the modeling.
A few things that would be great to see with this:
1) Grading connections at both front and back of the RW
2) optional drainage channel that would go to the top, back of the RW, to which the terrain would connect to instead of the wall where applicable.
3) Many retaining walls are standard (Type 1, MSE, Ground Anchor, etc.) would be great to have those standards in Infraworks, with the obvious ability to implement design changes.
4) Sectional detailing of the Walls (rebar, geo-composite drainange, Weep holes, ground anchors, MSE Mats, etc)
Our bridge workflow does support parametric retaining walls in InfraWorks. Given the other comments, I would like to get some feedback and how we can enhance this so that both Transportation as well as Site Design workflow can take advantage of this feature.
Hey @ramesh_sridharan. When I originally posted this, I didn't have roadways in mind. I was simply thinking about site design. You being in Austin, I'm sure you see them everywhere from roads to fast food joints needing retaining walls. Let me know if you want more info.
If you want to do a simple basic rough site development retaining wall that's not part of a roadside grading, without having to build a Civil 3D surface, or create some type of custom parametric part in other software like inventor or Revit, I will typically will just use the curb component road assembly. Then within the Stack Geometry properties I will set the width. I just showed my user group (DFWBIUG) members how to do this recently. Let me know if you would like me to create a video.
