From the Ground Up

Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler - Online and on the iPAD

So those of you following this new product from Autodesk, we have kept you to your desktop building these conceptual planning models.

With AU this week there is always the new things from development coming out.

So building a planning project you need to share this with those that are not necessarily users of design software.

Creating videos end up becoming the final design and not really asking the question, what do you want? lets try it out.

Also being able to share this model to someone through their internet browser or even one of those tablet devices really opens up the model to everyone.

So now we can, below you can see my model through the internet explorer (I just skinned it via ipadpeek.com to show how it could look on the tablet.)

 

Want to try it out now?

You will need to install first the web plugin for Internet Explorer

Then

Try my sample model

If you do install the iPAD application, you also get Augmented Reality, so you can access your model on site and through the camera in the iPAD 2 you can see your model in position.

I just need to get myself an iPAD 2, at least I have a reason for one now

(note not available for iPAD 1)

Have fun!

This is a presentation to show how a new integrated design BIM workflow for roundabout design can be carried out in real-time.

Using Arcady (TRL), AutoTRACK Junction (Savoy) and AutoCAD Civil 3D (Autodesk) in combination, this enables the designer to design, simulate and analyse at the same time.

This event will be hosted live from the Autodesk offices in Farnborough, UK over the internet with live presentation and in person video stream.

Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler Plugin for Civil 3D 2012

One thing to add if you get hold of a copy of this new bit of kit, is the plug in for Civil 3D.

Add it in the installer under the ‘tools and utilities’ button

And you get a nice little button in your output ribbon

 

 

It will export the civil objects into this IMX file format ready to go straight into your model.

 

Will pick up on this in my next post.
