Course details
Autodesk InfraWorks boasts an array of powerful tools that can help you craft and visualize preliminary designs in 3D. In this course, instructor Lynda Sharkey shines a spotlight on one key aspect of an infrastructure design project: bridges. Discover how to leverage this design and engineering program to model and design bridges using real-world data and components in the context of a larger project. Discover how to prepare a road for parametric bridge design, modify a bridge in InfraWorks, add bridge decorations, and share a bridge with Revit. Plus, learn about advanced capabilities such as line girder analysis.
