A Major Leap in AEC and Infrastructure Visualization: Enhanced Interoperability Between 3ds Max and Civil 3D

This case study will showcase a new and innovative tool that Arcadis and Autodesk Consulting have developed. The tool is a significant enhancement in the interoperability between 3ds Max and Civil 3D software, with new features that will substantially shift the gamification efficiency in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) and infrastructure sectors. The interoperability features boost faster integration, reduce manual tasks, and decrease task time by more than 50%, leading to more-streamlined communications, more-efficient processes, and an increase in productivity and delivery. The transformation includes the creation of a new AutoCAD command, the development of a new add-in utility for AutoCAD and 3ds Max 2024 software, and an advanced approach to transforming CAD 2D infrastructure and AEC designs into 3D animated scenes. This advanced and innovative approach will pique your interest and open new possibilities for your visualization work.
