Autodesk Developer Network launches applications for building and infrastructure

by Rebecca Walker — April 18, 2011—Autodesk, Inc., a leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, announced that several Autodesk Developer Network (ADN) members have released applications for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 software. ADN members have developed applications for architecture, transportation, land development and water projects to help extend the value of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in specific industries.

Built for BIM, Autodesk Revit Architecture software helps users capture and analyze design concepts, and more accurately maintain a consistent vision through design, documentation and construction stages of a project. AutoCAD Civil 3D software, the BIM solution for civil engineering, helps teams more rapidly deliver higher-quality design and documentation for transportation, land development and water projects.

Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 is a key component of the new Autodesk Building Design Suite, while AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 is integral to the new Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite.

“By offering companion solutions for Revit Architecture 2012 and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012, ADN partners are helping their architecture, engineering, construction and infrastructure customers model and design complex projects more efficiently and collaboratively,” said Richard Harpham, senior director, AEC industry marketing, AEC Solutions. “These solutions help support a BIM process that delivers complex building and infrastructure projects on time and on budget. Building on Autodesk technology, such as the new Autodesk building and infrastructure design suites, our developer partners are helping their customers realize tangible business benefits, including quality, efficiency, productivity and sustainability.”
