685 Autodesk has launched a specialist training and certification package for civil engineers to bring them up to speed on modem BIM (information modelling) workflows. The Autodesk Official Training Guide, is not just teaching the functionality of the programs says the company, but aims to show how the Autodesk infrastructure software workflows "can help owners and service providers on roads and highways improve productivity, optimise designs, and accelerate project approvals." The course simulates a roadways project from planning and design through visual communication and construction documentation using an integrated BIM workflow using the latest 3282 AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk InfraWorks, Autodesk InfraWorks 360, and Autodesk Navisworks Manage software. The Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2014: BIM Workflow for Roads and Highways guide is available in hard copy or eBook format by online purchase from Ascent publishing (%$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalwww.ASCENTed.comwww.ASCENTed.comfalsehttp://www.ascented.com/falsefalse%>).
