Conceptual Road and Highway Modeling in InfraWorks

Planning modern transport infrastructure requires tools that allow you to quickly draft, evaluate, and share design concepts. This text-based course guides you through the fundamentals of conceptual road modeling, helping you turn raw spatial data into structured information models. By the end of this course, you will possess the skills to define terrain, design road alignments, and evaluate environmental impacts before moving to detailed engineering phases. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of conceptual BIM and infrastructure modeling. - Import and configure diverse GIS and terrain data sources to build a realistic digital environment. - Design road alignments, intersections, and profiles using intuitive layout tools. - Analyze visual impact, sight distances, and basic earthworks volumes directly within your model. - Integrate modern cloud collaboration workflows and open data standards into your design process. The course starts with essential infrastructure modeling terminology and workspace setup. You will then progress step-by-step through importing data, laying out roads, and performing initial conceptual analyses. This course is designed for civil engineers, urban planners, and GIS specialists new to digital road modeling, with no prior experience in the software required.
