Autodesk InfraWorks 360 Design Decision **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cecilia C. | Design Transportation, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2021 **What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?** It can be used for conceptual design and is an excellent tool for creating a visualization of the proposed project. **What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?** It cannot be used for an actual detail design. **What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** It can be used in road or bridges design and can create excellent visualization that can be brought to public meetings or for stakeholders. ### 2. InfraWorks 360 - powerful graphics, minimal analytic ability **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Natalya C. | VDC Manager / BIM Catalyst, Construction, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2015 **What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?** The 2015 version is pretty lightweight. It's a fast download, and if you have a top notch graphics card, it works well. The graphics within the program are really crisp, and it's easy to maneuver around the model. Also, model builder in the 2015 version is much faster than in the 2014 version. **What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?** I want to be able to build a model, find data sets easily, and cut a section through a site to see how everything relates. While you can import clunky pipe networks and ground regions, the program doesn't seem to handle them very well. I want the ground surface to be almost like a semi transparent block, and not a floating surface with no depth. I can't analyze how above ground and below ground systems relate to each other very easily with this tool. Also, there should be a library of items you can drop in from a 3D warehouse, and you should be able to colorize/categorize buildings on different layers without all the hassle. It takes 10 steps to do something that should be done in 2 steps. **Recommendations to others considering Autodesk InfraWorks:** Know exactly what you're going to be using it for. If you are unclear, you won't use it. If you're trying to analyze specific measurable site conditions, this is not the program for you. If you want to draw roads like sim city, this is the program for you. Very conceptual in nature. **What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's great for proposals. We can include images of the model and a link for our clients to view the model. It's great for quick wow factor graphics, but beyond that, the more you bring into it, even if it's just basic Revit models, it starts to slow down dramatically. ### 3. Infraworks 2014 or 360 **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Glenn K. | Owner, Civil Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2015 **What do you like best about Autodesk InfraWorks?** In my opinion, I have to say that Infraworks is the best thing to happen to Civil since sliced bread. If you are currently a 3DS Max user you will probably love this program for its snapshot feature alone. it produces renders in a fraction of the time it takes Max to do them. The interface is fast and It has become my favorite program to use for civil visualizations. **What do you dislike about Autodesk InfraWorks?** It still lacks North American tree species but I am sure this will be addressed soon. The other problem is that it doesn't seem to handle procedural materials on imported Max object so you have to map them the old fashioned way before you import them. Its a bit of a task trying to bring in a property boundary directly from cad. It doesn't come with the roads package. It is difficult to create seamless real world backgrounds without the use of a program like Photoshop. **Recommendations to others considering Autodesk InfraWorks:** I would buy the ultimate suite if you can afford it. The roads package is very powerful and without it you cannot really take things back and forth to Civil 3D. **What problems is Autodesk InfraWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our municipality require a visual impact plan for hillsides and it works great for that. ## Autodesk InfraWorks Discussions - [how accurate is the model builder data sets](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-accurate-is-the-model-builder-data-sets) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [how accurate is theinfraworks data](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-accurate-is-theinfraworks-data) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Where does model builder get it's data?
