© 2012 Autodesk Class Summary This class focuses on employing Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler (AIM) at the beginning of a transportation project and the interoperability between AIM and Civil 3D. In addition, we will show how AIM can consume data from other products within the Autodesk® Infrastructure Design Suite such as Autodesk® Revit and Autodesk® 3ds Max Design.

© 2012 Autodesk Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Attach 2D conceptual plans to AIM model  Create 3D representation from the 2D  Begin preliminary design decisions  Add content to model for visualization/presentation  AIM content  Google SketchUp content  Autodesk models  Move 3D conceptual design from AIM to Civil 3D

© 2012 Autodesk AIM Data Types – Existing Conditions  Raster  Scans  Aerial Imagery  Terrain  Shape (SHP)  Roads  Rail  Water  Buildings  Pipes
