Infraworks Essentials | Session 3

Exclusive to ARKANCE Advantage members - Part 3 of 4 total sessions. A virtual course led by an Autodesk Certified Instructor, covering the fundamental knowledge required to use Infraworks for infrastructure design projects.

Description

Infraworks | Essentials is a comprehensive 4 sessions x 3.5 hours (Total: 14 Hours) virtual course designed for beginners looking to build a strong foundation in managing larger-scale models and generating early-design concepts for infrastructure projects. Led by a Certified Autodesk Instructor, this course focuses on the essential tools and features of Infraworks, guiding you through the process of developing detailed 3D models, integrating diverse data sets, and creating compelling visualisations.

Throughout the course, you will learn how to navigate Infraworks' user interface and efficiently import a wide range of data, including GIS and CAD data, ensuring that your projects are built on accurate and comprehensive foundations. Using the Model Builder tool, you will develop detailed 3D models and explore techniques for customising design elements, such as creating roads, adjusting terrains, and integrating water features. You will also practise incorporating city furniture to add realism to your models, contributing to more lifelike urban environments. Additionally, the course covers the integration of Revit models and data transfer between Infraworks and Civil 3D, enabling effective collaboration across project teams. You will learn how to optimise your visualisations by adjusting sun and sky settings, as well as creating engaging storyboards and video presentations to communicate design concepts effectively. The course also focuses on essential engineering elements, including designing component roads with superelevation, creating intersections, and incorporating pavement drainage and culverts. Furthermore, you will explore techniques for calculating road and surface volumes for detailed reporting and how to leverage the ArcGIS Connector to integrate geographic data into your projects. This comprehensive approach will enable you to develop, refine, and present your designs with confidence.

Upon completing the course, you will be well-equipped to handle various design challenges using Infraworks, allowing you to develop high-quality models and conceptual designs. You will have a solid understanding of how to integrate data from multiple sources, customise your designs to meet project specifications, and present your concepts in a visually engaging manner.

Prerequisites

This course is delivered in multiple sessions, and participants are encouraged to attend them in the recommended order to support consistent learning.

To join the course, participants will need basic computer skills and a solid understanding of civil engineering or infrastructure design concepts. No prior experience with Infraworks is required, but prior CAD experience is recommended.

Learning Outcomes

During this course, you will explore the following topics:

  • Module 5 – Component Roads | Superelevation | Intersections | Civil 3D Transfer: Develop your skills in designing component roads, including proper alignments with curves and transitions, profiles, and superelevation. Practise creating efficient intersection designs that align with project specifications. Additionally, you will learn how to transfer models effectively between Infraworks and Civil 3D, facilitating collaboration and continuity in your design process.
  • Module 6 – Decorations | Bridges | Shared Views: Explore techniques for enriching your designs with decorative elements, adding country-specific detail to your projects. Practise creating and refining bridge designs to ensure they meet project and aesthetic requirements. Additionally, you will learn how to create and manage 3D shared views, fostering collaboration with team members and stakeholders by sharing design progress and gathering feedback efficiently.

Courseware

Before the course, you will receive a Course Pack containing training notes and/or files that need to be downloaded prior to joining the training. Please note that our training sessions are not recorded to maintain the privacy of all participants.

As an Advantage member, you receive complimentary access to course-related eLearning materials to support your knowledge retention. Login details to the e-platform are provided upon joining ARKANCE Advantage.

Certification

ARKANCE, an Authorized Autodesk Training Center, delivers high-quality training for Autodesk software users. To receive an official ARKANCE Certificate of Completion — a recognition of your commitment to ongoing professional development — you must attend all parts of the course.

System Requirements

Participants joining this course virtually will need:

  • Infraworks '22 or higher installed on their computer (required). We strongly recommend that participants join using the most recent version of the software. Please contact us if you need to purchase a software licence.
  • The latest Zoom version installed on their computer (required).
  • A stable internet connection with a minimum download speed of 10 Mbps (required).
  • A secondary screen to follow instructions shared by the course instructor during training, along with a mouse for easy software navigation (recommended).
  • A headset to ensure clear communication with the instructor, and preferably a microphone and webcam for interactive conversations (recommended).

Additional Information

Our Courses and Deep Dive sessions are delivered virtually by Autodesk Certified Instructors, Bluebeam Certified Instructors, and experienced Subject Matter Experts. These regularly scheduled sessions are only available to Advantage customers and are not open to the public, meaning you will attend alongside other Advantage members who have registered.

Alternatively, all our courses can be organised privately for your team, following either a standard agenda or a customised curriculum tailored to your specific requirements. Private training sessions are available both virtually and in-person.
