"Infraworks Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?

Easy to use, many configurations/options to edit settings and powerful visual graphics of the 3D infra model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?

Requires a powerful graphics card for the visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can integrate 3D models and objects from different tools (Revit, Civil 3D, sketch up, etc) into one 3D model that shows the infrastructure, building and landscaping items. The visuals are great for capturing video or photo and present to project stakeholders for a better understanding of the overall scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Infraworks provides a good starting point to develop site models for visualization projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?

Integration with Revit could be improved. Currently, its not possible to directly connect topography from infraworks with a toposurface in Revit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk InfraWorks:

"Planning Your Site!!!!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?

One of the things that I like the most about Infraworks is that it is very user friendly. The learning curve to implement this software is considerably shorter than many of the other softwares that Autodesk has to offer. Another thing that is really high on my list is the interoperability between softwares. Being able to bring in many files from different sources is key as we are not guaranteed to be on the same platform across the board in a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?

The main thing that I would say is lacking in the software is a library of components. While it is simple to go into Autodesk Formit and create some massing shapes to accommodate what you are trying to portray. If there was a more robust Library right out of the box I think that it would get more people up and running considerably faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk InfraWorks:

Make sure that you have a clear direction for your implementation and rollout based upon the required scope. Only take it as far as you need to take it. There are a lot of great things with this software and it is easy to go down a rabbit hole that you do not need to and therefore spending more time and money than you need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?

As we all know, people these days are especially visual. Being able to take our project to the next level by showing the Site Layout and Plan in 3D, gives the project team as well as the owners better insight into how the site itself is going to operate. Along with allowing a clearer picture for the owners and the project team, this allows us to evaluate our plans and even optimize the site anywhere that is possible.

"Great tool for establishing site information"

5/5

What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?

Very easy to use and get started. It provides a great starting point for design and site layout. It can also provide an extensive background for existing context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?

The interface can take a little getting used to. It can be a challenge to export the elements you need and keep the model organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk InfraWorks:

Give it a try, It doesn’t take long to get going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s mainly used to get base terrain and existing site information. It’s important to know roughly what the topography is looking like and what challenges we may face with site layout and design. It also provides a good visual representation for client presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Autodesk InfraWorks 360 For Infrastructure and Residential Site Design"

5/5

What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?

I am using Autodesk InfraWorks 360 from 2016, its combine GIS/BIM platform for Preliminary design and Construction project, where one can create the Proposed Site Model for Residential, Highway design, port planning etc, in no time. It's very flexible software to integrate any type of Site data, building models and utilities data from various sources in spatial reference, to view in 3D dimensions and also to create Scenic presentation for client reviews, before the project is to be built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?

Anything I dislike about this is detailed analysis, but I hope Autodesk is adding that feature too in the future, to become a single modeling and detailed design software for Civil Engineering projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Especially in Highway and Residential projects, it provides a very smooth workflow, more insightful and easy to create Civil Engineering design. When it comes to pre-Disaster Management, I solved an emergency shelter identification problem using different terrain analysis by InfraWorks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"While currently "immature" it is useful and is obvious that it will become more and more useful."

4/5

What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?

I find InfraWorks most useful in looking at large site grading exercises. It has allowed me to quickly zero in on first floor elevations for terminals in a large trucking facility that minimized cut/fill. Much more quickly than traditional methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?

Needs improvements - for example road intersections in the middle of a horizontal curve where the travel lanes change width are not created properly, Alignments cannot close on themselves. Both of these items occur frequently in commercial developments. Having lanes cross the center alignment is also needed - for example a left turn lane that is positioned to the left side of the alignment. Wish it had better parcel tools - for land subdivision.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk InfraWorks:

Take your time, make use of on-line videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?

My greatest success with it was creating a site proposal with renderings in an evening - that ultimately won my firm a large project. I pretty much ignored its visualization capabilities (I am a 3ds Max guy) - but am actually impressed with what it was able to do for me. We won the project because IW allowed me to quickly explore design possibilities and demonstrate to the client that we listened to them, and tired things they asked for. Would not have been able to do that traditionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
