And design water and wastewater treatment facilities with the AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset along with Revit, Navisworks, and InfraWorks.
Vehicle tracking and swept path analysis
Vehicle Tracking provides a set of transportation design tools that include vehicle swept path prediction for steered vehicles, light rail vehicles, and aircraft, as well as parking layout design and roundabout design.
Linear feature extraction and regression analysis
Define critical feature points of linear objects in ReCap Pro—including curbs, gutters, rails—within point cloud data and automate extraction to generate a linear feature quickly and reduce errors. Create an optimized horizontal alignment for railway or roadway design from existing conditions data in Civil 3D.
Connect design to fabrication
Use Revit and Advance Steel to create a more precise BIM workflow from design to fabrication. Collaborate with designers and engineers in one model for more accuracy and improved controls.
Tools for concrete structures
Work more productively and accurately with BIM workflows that help automate and connect concrete design and detailing to fabrication. Use Revit’s comprehensive set of tools for modeling 3D concrete reinforcements, creating shop drawings, and schedules – all in one environment.
Boost interoperability and data exchanges
Exchange BIM data easily between design and detailing workflows with the Advance Steel extension for Revit. Automate design to fabrication workflows with ready-made templates to create drawings for fabrication.
Enhance MEP design to fabrication
Improve MEP project workflows using the streamlined design-to-fabrication capabilities in Revit and Fabrication CADmep. Powerful clash detection tools in Navisworks help deliver clash-free and coordinated MEP models, avoiding costly rework on the jobsite.
HVAC fabrication detailing
Easily convert a design intent model into a fabrication-ready model, using Revit, for overall time savings and improved quality. Expedite the detailing process with automation features to connect MEP systems engineering, design and detailing workflows across the lifecycle of projects.
Coordinated and constructable MEP models
Detailing in Revit helps mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors to create detailed models, estimation, and fabrication. Save time by minimizing the amount of manual modeling with automated workflows that convert design models to fabrication-ready components.
Control costs and quantify materials easily
Drive efficiency and accuracy with a model-based workflow for project requirements, cost estimation, and material quantification. Rapidly generate material costs to accurately maintain project budgets and evaluate costs of design alternatives.
Coordinate models to reduce issues on site
Collaborate across multi-discipline teams to coordinate developed models and avoid constructability issues. Easily track version changes to avoid rework and maximize productivity with advanced tools for construction ready models.
Cloud-based file management for clash-free models
Identify and resolve design inconsistencies prior to construction with Autodesk Docs. Automate clash detections to help identify coordination issues and mitigate risks early for improved quality and constructability.
Software included in the AEC Collection
A comprehensive list of every product and toolset available within the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) Collection. Explore each product or download a free trial.
Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialized toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the percent difference between the two totals across seven studies. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on machine, operating system, filters, and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice. Autodesk provides this information “as is,” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
