Autodesk InfraWorks 2025 Fundamentals Learning Guide (Imperial Units) - Civil Engineering Design & Infrastructure Planning Software Tutorial

The Autodesk® InfraWorks® 2025: Fundamentals guide provides you with a fundamental knowledge of the accelerated design process that uses data-rich 3D models with high-end visualizations. This enables you to create, evaluate, and better communicate 3D site plan proposals for faster approvals.

Topics Covered

Roadway Design:

• Create property boundaries for parcels, easements, and right of ways.
• Create and modify design roads with precise parameters.
• Add components and decorations to roads.
• Adjust roadside grading.
• Apply and review superelevations in component roads.
• Modify how design roads intersect using a standard intersection or roundabout.
• Optimize the vertical design of a roadway.
• Create gradient maps based on selected feature sets to identify areas with low impact for site or corridor optimization.
• Find an optimal horizontal design of the roadway which yields a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.
• Run traffic simulations to analyze and animate design traffic.

• Bridge and Tunnel Design:

• Add bridges and tunnels to a design roadway.
• Work with bridge deck and girder cross sections.
• Perform analysis and design checks on all the pre-stressed girders of your bridge.

Drainage Design:

• Run a watershed analysis.
• Create or modify culverts.
• Create a pavement drainage network.
• Analyze the pavement drainage network.

Point Cloud Modeling:

• Preparing the point cloud.
• Create a terrain from a point cloud.
• Create features from a point cloud.
