The traditional, drafting-centric workflow makes evaluation of what-if scenarios inefficient and cost prohibitive. In an infrastructure project, BIM facilitates more design alternatives by spending more time during the project planning phase analyzing data rich models. In this article, I focus on three key benefits of working with BIM models which include: It helps engineers better predict a project’s performance to increase safety, constructability, and sustainability before it is built, thus facilitating better decision making and more economic project delivery. The BIM process supports the ability to coordinate, update, and share design data with team members across disciplines. BIM is an approach to the entire project life cycle, including design, construction, and facilities management. It is a streamlined process that allows us to make better decisions about project design based on reliable information analysis.

If you are interested, I’ve created a quick video that highlights a possible workflow.Back April 2nd, 2016 BIM for Beginners: An Introduction to Building Information Modeling within Infrastructure Projectsīuilding information modeling (BIM) is not a specific software program. Even better yet, once you’ve imported a SHP to InfraWorks, any updates made to the associated entities in Civil 3D can simply be exported out to the same shape file and then “refreshed” in InfraWorks 360. Fortunately, coverage area styles can be applied to linework too! By simply applying a buffer width, (4” in the case of pavement stripes) linear objects “become” closed shapes and can therefore assume a coverage area style. Pavement striping on the other hand, may seem a bit more challenging as it is made up of linear objects and not closed shapes. SHP and then imported to InfraWorks as coverage areas. For example, the outlines of surface boundaries, curb and gutter, pavement, islands, etc. In many cases, transitioning site plan geometry from Civil 3D to InfraWorks can be accomplished using shape files. That being said, if you already have a VR device you can use that as well.Īfter using Civil 3D to layout a parking lot design, you may want to move that design into InfraWorks 360 for the purpose of creating compelling visuals. If you are one of the first 100 people to register for the webcast and submit the required form, Autodesk will send you a VR viewer! During the session Jeff will be sharing QR codes such that you can experience the VR output yourself! Deadline to submit for a VR viewer is Dec 14, 2016. Best practices for rendering and viewing stereo panoramas.Using cloud based rendering to create a stereo panorama.When finished, the 3D rendering can be viewed using a smartphone. In this session Jeff Bartels will demonstrate how to pass an InfraWorks model to Navisworks where it can easily be rendered as a stereo panorama.
session will be “Creating a Virtual Reality Experience from an InfraWorks 360 Model in Minutes!” In less than two weeks we will be presenting at the next installment of the InfraWorks 360 Product Team Webcast.
