Tired of spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars working through multiple preliminary design variants in CAD? Don’t you wish you could show clients their projects with real world maps and 3D designs and have them created as simply as they are in a city-building video game? How great would it be to just be able to add/move/drag design elements like roads, bridges, etc. with just a single mouse click and have them update to real 3D design parameters instantly? Well, you don’t have to wish anymore!
Autodesk InfraWorks provides simple-to-use tools so that all stakeholders can make critical decisions as early as possible in the project, avoiding costly errors downstream. InfraWorks has the power to integrate large scale GIS data with smart 3D models of your site. ZenTek Consultants will teach you how to enhance, visualize, analyze, simulate, and present projects using Infraworks – a software you already have access to with your Autodesk AEC Collection subscription. Best of all, once the InfraWorks design is complete, you can port it all directly into AutoCAD Civil 3D for use in your detailed design.
This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.
Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk InfraWorks 2024. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version.
