Autodesk InfraWorks

Subscription Design the Building

Early-stage conceptual infrastructure design tool that builds a GIS-rich 3D context model (terrain, imagery, existing utilities) for rapid road, bridge, rail, and drainage concept design and stakeholder visualization before detailed design moves into Civil 3D or Revit.

Made by Autodesk, public (ADSK, $43.8B)

3.2 /5 composite score
C3 3/5 reflects the early-stage road, bridge, rail, and drainage concept workflow, and C4 4/5 reflects IMX, LandXML, Shapefile, IFC, CityGML, and DWG exchange. C1 3/5 reflects the public USD 2,090/year new-seat price, while C2 2/5 reflects file-based handoff rather than a current documented API or CLI.
