Leveraging the experimental Google Earth API for Photorealistic 3D Tiles, context models could be linked as an external data source to reference, visualize and refine Infraworks projects.   See the Google Earth Blog for more information on this service (posting from may 10th, 2023): https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/maps-platform/create-immersive-3d-map-experiences-photorealistic-3d-tiles   -luc Show More

I would like for Autodesk to take the ideas on there own forums, ideas that they are asking for, seriously. Currently, it seems like Autodesk is ignoring or doesn't care about the ideas on these forums as 16 of the top 20 ideas are still gathering support. Vote this idea up and perhaps Autodesk will hear us. Show More

Infraworks needs to implement Civil BIM. After years of marketing it's time Autodesk actually implements Civil BIM so we can leverage an actual model based design. I want to be ablility to tell my kids that I'm designing pavement instead of getting blank stares when I tell them I designing feature lines.    Pavement needs the ability to talk to adjacent civil BIM objects such as curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveways, and other common objects you will find in the word. The pavement object should trim it's self to the other objects. So if you add curb and gutter along one edge it will join it. The pavement object found in parking lots should accept curb and gutter islands with landscaping. The grades of this island should generally follow the pavement grades with the ability to modify the curb and gutter elevations to allow for grade changes to allow for water flow.  Show More

hi all please add an option in intersection panel for turning on/off zebra cross .. i know we can find in library but if the zebra cross be a part of intersection panel we can access it easily .. something like this       thanks Show More

I want to be ablility to tell my kids that I'm designing curb and gutter instead of getting blank stares when I tell them I designing feature lines.    The curb and gutter objects need the ability to have a tools found for feature lines in Civil 3D. Allowing us to set elevations at certain locations, insert grade breaks, set grades along a path (and automatically removing the grade breaks I inserted earlier or not depending on a setting for this), talk to the pavement object (that will be part of another idea station idea) and have the pavement object react to the curb and gutter changes. Due to processing power limitations this could be updated at the press of a button.   The curb and gutter will have intellegent information tied to it such as a C or CN value, a mannings n value, and recognize the adjacent pavement to determine if the spread is allowable or if it floods the first floor of an adjacent building.   Show More

Dear InfraWorks, How I wish you become a bit maturer and graduate from being like a lost child. I feel like you have great potential if only you focus! Currently you can produce lines by point extraction yet the line work is useless in InfraWorks. You create nice visualizations yet not dynamically linked to the detailed design. You create roads and drainage networks that are impractical for a detailed engineer in the office. You want to analyze traffic, yet no one knows about your abilities. You have easy to use terrain analysis tools yet the terrain itself is inaccurate. Please stop being a jack of all trades because you’re a master of none!   You mingle with GIS, BIM and CAD. Yet you don’t want to learn from your friends. Imagine yourself having a GIS foundation with powerful analysis, overlaid with true infrastructure BIM for dynamic and  parametric modeling capabilities while empowering the detail centric and flexible CAD utilities; imagine how amazing the possibilities can be in your future. Hope you have a productive year 🙂 Show More

It would be great if when bringing roads in from SHP files that you could choose where you want Station 0+00 to be when you convert them to component roads.  A button within the Road Geometry to reverse stationing since the station range is already there would be a good spot for this I think.     Maybe this is already an option and I'm just missing it.  I'm finding myself redrawing roads in the opposite direction quite frequently.     Thank you!   Casey Bekkerus   @Anonymous Sridharan Show More

Please add ASAP..this is civil engineering software..Conspicuously absent..   How did this happen? Show More

I hit like on the first idea, and then felt passionately (ie. angry) enough at this that I thought i would add another posting with more specific issues... only to find that there are multiple instances of this recommendation dating all the way back to 2015. Come on guys; bang off the easy changes.     Show More

it might sound a bit odd at first, but when you take a closer look at the game and it's community, you realise the has better opportunities when making a sketch or design than infraworks, only lacking in creating your own roads or profiles. the features i see would be practical for infraworks would be the following: - decal system: decals in City Skylines offer the ability to place down road markings and other decals , such as potholes or leaves, that dynamically follow roads and surfaces. that would mean a faster and more intuitive way to create a realistic sketch of your proposal, design or visualization. - terraforming:  creating sunken roads and highways can be quite the hassle in Infraworks, cause of the terrain that not always goes where you want it to go. You can of course set a daylight for your roads or use coverage areas, but that also has its limitations and isn't as  robust and intuitive as that of the game. City skylines deals with terrain difficulties using terraforming tools. flattening a terrain or creating a hill would do wonders  when dealing with terrains that still stick out after laying down a road in Infraworks - 3d model library: one of the most iconic things in city skylines is it's community. basically, per day, hundreds of 3d models of cars, houses, bridge structures and so one get posted on the mod forum for everyone to use for free. if Infraworks were to have a model sharing feature like this, it would create the possibility to grow the community.   examples of the features in City Skylines: 1. 3d model library: below you can see a veriety of propper dutch (i'm dutch) building and road models, only made possible by the modding community. Infraworks currently is optimized for American roadstyles just like it used to be in City Skylines, but having a modding community would mean that barrier can be broken, just like in City Skylines example 2: the normal road network system is symilar to that of Infraworks. that means limited options when it comes to road markings. using decals, you can bypass that limit and manually place it down yourself. example 3: terraforming: notice how the bottom picture has many different terrain heights. in the game, you can quickly terraform the terrain to your liking. Even though the terraforming might not be very accurate, it does give the possibility to quickly sketch sunken roads more to the vision of the creator. Show More

It might be very handy to be able to combine Multiple (File and Database) Dynamic Data Source connections to one Feature object to combine object properties. Sort of like the Navisworks and Map 3D Database connections to link data together using a special key value. Show More

It would be nice if the model does not regenerate every time you make a change to a PVI using the Curve Properties window. This would be the same as how changes in the profile window do not update the model until you move the mouse back into the model or have the "Auto update model" box checked.   Changing the values for a PVI (grade in, grade out, station, elevation, K-value, etc.) can oftentimes involve some trial and error, so minimizing the delay after changing a value would be helpful.

Please provide an easier workflow than making us create all these shape files from CAD to bring into Infraworks.   Have Infraworks do that in the background for us, and then we just have the option to select the linework in CAD manually or by Layers. Show More

We often want to take out infraworks presentation into the field. But a lot of our sites are in areas with no internet. An offline mode or a self executing viewer file that could be used offline would really help solve this problem. Show More

I have one situation, i need show for my architecture a study of elevations for land areas but that´s happens: All of point are in the same level. I know that now it´s not possible but I tried to use grading with slope 1:10000000000 (run:rise) with 0.1m of height but the minimum of height is 1m. I tried this to interpolate theses areas. I would like this tool with 0.1m or until 0.1m and slope above for solve this case. Thanks!     Show More

Add Cut/Copy/Paste to the right-click shortcut menu for Edit Mode.   Currently you have to go in and  turn off Edit Mode just to get Cut/Copy/Paste on the right-click short cut menu.   That's terribly annoying and inefficient. Show More

We need continuous guardrail objects... .Shocking this is not already in this type of conceptual road design software.   The current "workaround" is incredibly laborious. Show More
