Provide detailed designs for civil engineers who will then perform the detailed work. Import the detailed results back from AutoCAD Civil 3D into InfraWorks 360 to visualize it in a real-world context.
An example of an AutoCAD Civil 3D/InfraWorks 360 workflow:
- A planner uses InfraWorks 360 to visualize the project area for a transportation project, sketching one or more proposals of the new road and doing some pre-evaluation.
- The planner exports the proposals in IMX format.
- A civil engineer imports the IMX file into AutoCAD Civil 3D and makes any needed adjustments.
- Once the design is complete, the engineer exports the resulting corridor as an IMX file.
- The planner re-imports the corridor into InfraWorks 360 to see the result within the neighborhood and create a presentation for public review.
