Improved Collaboration Experience

We've made improvements to cloud model collaboration.

See A Quick Intro to Sharing Models with Others.

New Learning Videos

We continue to create videos to support learning and optimize your experience with InfraWorks 360.

Additions to the Video Library for this release include a playlist for railway design and individual videos on intersections, roundabouts, the Web Administrator, raster image overlays, and animating a design road.

See InfraWorks 360 Video Library.

Detailed Engineering for Transportation

We have improved the performance of roadway gizmo editing and profile editing. You can now choose when to update your model while editing the profile view of a road.

Right-click a design road to convert it to a component road for precise editing.

Animate a camera path along a design road. See Animating a Design Road.

We've made a number significant improvements to roundabout and intersection editing.
  • Use grips to adjust roundel size, position, elevation, bearing, and slope. The rest of the roundabout adjusts to your edits. Lane widths remain constant. You can also adjust elements of the roundel on its asset card. See Grip-editing Roundabouts.
  • Right-click a turn in an intersection to add a center turn lane. Use grips to adjust the transition start and end points of the turn lane.
  • Use grips to adjust the position of ramp intersections. Design standards determine the length and taper of the acceleration lane but you can adjust these using grips as needed for local conditions. See Creating Ramps and Interchanges.

Traffic Analysis and Simulation Improvements

Railway Design Enhancements

We've made improvements to railway design so that tracks in close proximity share bridges and tunnels. See Railway Design.

Drainage Design Enhancements

Rainfall

  • The new Rainfall Content manager enables you to assign model-specific rainfall for more accurate drainage design. Three samples are provided in the Rainfall Content manager: FHWA BDE Equation, ANZ 6-degree polynomial, and a tabular sample. You can modify and rename these as needed. You can also import rainfall data.
  • Use the sample or imported data to create a rainfall IDF curve. This becomes the design default for the Add Drainage Network, Size Drainage Network, and Inspect Performance commands.
  • Inlet Asset cards show the computed rainfall intensity according to the default rainfall.
  • Import rainfall data in the following formats: Australian Rainfall & Runoff 6-degree polynomial data (.csv), NOAA PFDC (.csv), or the Hydraflow (.idf) or (.stm).
  • Export rainfall to Microsoft Excel for editing or to transfer to a new model.
  • Rainfall IDF dialog box provides graphical representation of IDF rainfall, the frequency, and durations in graph form, together with a fully editable tabular view.

Size Drainage Network

  • Size Drainage Network enables you to size a connected network of pipes, inlets, manholes, and outlets according to the standard step method, aiming for a nearly full design size. This network is no longer limited to a network along a road.
  • You can now specify the Annual Exceedance Probability for the default rainfall.

Inspect Performance

Allows you to select rainfall and AEP so you can review different performance scenarios.

Inlets

You can now edit the tributary area, time of concentration, and runoff coefficient of inlets outside of the road. We assume these inlets gather 100% of tributary flow.

Point Cloud Enhancements

Generate 3D terrain models from point clouds. (Preview)
  • Directly consume Autodesk ReCap point cloud file formats (.rcs and .rcp).
  • Process point cloud data to identify ground and other features, especially from high-density point clouds.
  • Produce grid-based raster terrain.
  • Adjust settings to control terrain quality for different types of point clouds.
  • Remove redundant points to generate light-weight results.
  • See

2D Terrain Overlay

This release features import and terrain overlay of 2D content. See To import 2D overlay content and Terrain Overlays.

View Features on OpenStreetMap

You can now connect to OpenStreetMap to view source data from features created by Model Builder. See To create a model with Model Builder.

Improvements to Rendering and Viewing Models on the Web

  • You can now zoom in and out and view panoramas at full screen.
  • Create panoramas by adding bookmarks to the model. You can now disable panorama creation when you add a bookmark if you don't need a panorama view. See Managing Bookmarks.
  • Model rendering is now consistent with layer visibility settings.
  • We've improved the sorting of models on the web home.
  • When searching models, you can now include more than one search item.

Web Administrator

  • Use the new Web Administrator to render and manage models, panoramas, and proposals for viewing in a browser. This tool enables you to share models with colleagues and stakeholders on the web and on tablets. If you have Admin or Publisher privilege, open the Web Administrator from InfraWorks 360 Home, the Utility Bar within a model, and when viewing a model in a browser.
  • You can now select which proposals to render using the Web Administrator.
  • Render high-quality panoramas at 3000 pixels wide as opposed to 1000 pixels.

See Improvements to Web Experience.
