Infraworks 2022 | What's New

   The following is a portion of an article written by our Consulting & Services Manager, Shawn Herring.

In the past few versions of Civil 3D, there haven’t really been any changes that I think could really change the game and give your productivity a big boost.  Yes, there were a lot of little things, and some nice additional tools, but nothing that made you go, "WOW!"  Until now, there are a couple things in the upcoming release of Civil 3D 2022 that I think could be real game changers and I’m happy to share them with you.  Anymore though, we can’t just look at what’s new in our hero product, but all other complimentary products as well, so I will briefly mention a few of those.

Infraworks 2022

Enhanced Model Builder Interface

·         New interface for Infraworks Model Builder.  It has the same functionality, but is a bit more streamlined and/or modern and easy to use.  You can now set your coordinate system upon creation of your model.  Simple, but still a time saving exercise.  And as the model is prepped, it gives you a summary of your model creation.

 

Active Linear Road Decorations

·         With roads that are imported from Civil 3D, you can now add road decorations to it.  You were unable to do this before, and had to create a concept road to do so.

·         You can also select a road corridor, right click and choose Place Decorations and you can add decorations onto any of the model corridors.  Also, once placed, you have a lot more control over the creation and editing your model on the fly, without constant regeneration of the model.
