Import 3D models created in 3ds Max, Revit, and Civil 3D into InfraWorks Mobility Simulation.
Transcript
00:03
In InfraWorks, you can import three-dimensional models created with Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Revit,
00:10
or Autodesk Civil 3D to make your base mobility simulation model more realistic, such as buildings and other small structures and details.
00:20
Begin with a new InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model open.
00:25
In Mobility Simulation, the only way to import external design content is to use Autodesk 3ds Max,
00:32
so if the model was created in Revit or Civil 3D, it must be imported into 3ds Max first.
00:39
In 3ds Max, open the model you want to import in Mobility Simulation.
00:45
For this example, a detailed 3D model previously created in Revit and imported into 3ds Max is used.
00:53
Zoom in to see the structural building details, including 3D terrain, that you will be adding to your simulation model.
01:01
You can import this file into InfraWorks Mobility Simulation as a new shape.
01:07
Return to Mobility Simulation, select the Display menu, and then click Content.
01:13
In the Content dialog, you can select from the Pedestrians, Vehicles, Structures, Images, and Advanced function tabs.
01:22
On the Structures tab, select Add a new local Shape.
01:26
In your File Explorer, navigate to and select the model file Covid test Building only.3ds.
01:33
Click Open.
01:35
In the Import 3D Shapes dialog that appears, you can set the Shape Category, Name Prefix, Scale, and XYZ Axis Rotation.
01:46
For this example, expand the Shape Category drop-down, and select Site.
01:52
Set the Scale to .1, and then click OK.
01:56
Be aware that it might take a while to load, and there is no progress bar to indicate the time remaining.
02:02
Once the import is complete, you see the file name with a green check mark in the Content dialog.
02:09
Select Apply, and then click OK.
02:12
To insert the imported file, or shape, into the open Mobility Simulation model, right-click the project space and select Display.
02:21
Then, select New Structure at Cursor.
02:25
In the New Shape dialog, enter a name or accept the default of Fixture 1.
02:30
Then, expand the Shape Data drop-down, and select the data file—Covid test Building only, for this example.
02:38
Click OK.
02:40
The imported details now appear in your Mobility Simulation project space.
02:45
Pan and zoom in for a closer look.
02:49
You can start building your mobility simulation on top of the imported details.
