Parametric Modeling Roadmap

For Infrastructure / Civil Structures

Parametric Modeling – Central data and common shared components

• Add a low LOD bridge or tunnel to alignment / corridor directly in C3D

• Save to central model and open in InfraWorks or Revit for further design

• Or refine the parametric model first in C3D then update central model

• Update model in C3D from changes made to central model

• Create bridge or tunnel on alignment or corridor from central data model

• Or add bridges and tunnels from central model to large scale, project wide model

• Use the alignments / corridors from central model directly in Revit

• And / or bring in bridges and tunnels and further refine the models

• Add rebar, misc details, schedules, sheets

• Update central model

• Leverage central model to develop construction model

• Update construction model based on changes to central model

Parametric Modeling in Civil 3D

Single Parametric Objects editable

in Civil 3D

Extend domain logic to enable

targeted parametric workflows

Leverage Parametric Object Systems in

complex infrastructure workflows
