6:42 Thank you

This release offers simpler connected workflows with previously unavailable functionality, reimagining the bridge design workflow to boost productivity.

The most significant benefit is the increased flexibility in using custom components and accommodating more complex pier and abutment layouts in your digital model.

See the highlights of the new updates including Revit family-based custom parametric components, dynamic clipping panes, and enhanced geometry handling.

1- Revit Family-Based Custom Parametric Components
This new feature extends the current Inventor-based workflow for adding custom parametric components. Before this update, you could create custom parametric components for use in InfraWorks in Inventor only.

With the 2023 InfraWorks release, you can create Revit family-based components (RFBC) and import any existing libraries of RFBC you wish to reuse. Once you publish the InfraWorks model and open it in Revit, you can further modify RFBC, with holes or notches.

This is great news for AEC collection subscribers because Revit is included in the collection.

2 - Clipping Planes
A new dynamic clipping plane interaction helps you to visualize and understand structures at the design stage, offering deeper insight into the complex geometry of structures.

3 - Enhanced Geometry Control
Enhanced geometry control enables you to create custom piers and abutments with any desired seat geometry and have bearings placed automatically, giving you greater control and ease of use during the design stage. This much-needed functionality allows bridge models to progress to the detail design stage more quickly, with greater control, while maintaining the ease of use of automatic bearings placement.
