Civil3D Integration

Add option to select InfoDrainage Project Template when exporting from Civil 3D

Currently (July 2026), when you export from Civil 3D to InfoDrainage, it writes a new .iddx without any templates applied. This means for users who start in Civil 3D, the InfoDrainage Project Template is not very helpful. All other templates (obje...

allow pipe networks to be exported as a 3d model to dxf or dwg

When exporting a model from infodrainage to Civil3d, the pipes do not have a height or grade. They are exported as a 2d element. There is also an issue when exporting to civilk3d that the elements are exported in feet and inches and are not able t...

Importing Filter Drains with Underdrain into Civil 3D

Currently on many of my projects where we are designing the surface water drainage for substations. The surface water network is typically built up of filter drains within the substations platform. Currently we model the filter drain as an infiltr...

Import Civil 3D Parts Lists to InfoDrainage

Currently, we can create parts lists in InfoDrainage and save them for reuse. However, it would be ideal if parts lists from Civil 3D could be imported directly into InfoDrainage.

Import Civil 3D surface directly to Infodrainage

Importing a Civil 3D surface directly would eliminate any errors in the conversion process, ensuring triangulations are accurate and surface boundaries are observed

True Pipe Lengths (not center to center)

Infodrainage uses center to center for pipe slopes/calculations. In Civil 3D, it is common to snap pipes to inside edges, not alway to a center connection point. Infodrainage doesn't seem to respect that, and does everything from center to center ...

Surfaces should import to layer set in Drawing Settings in Civil 3D

Currently surfaces imported from InfoDrainage to Civil 3D default to layer 0. It is best practice not to draw anything on layer 0. Surfaces should default to the layer for Tin Surfaces set in the drawing settings (C-TOPO by default)

Pipe names missing in export from Civil3D

When exporting pipes from Civil3D to Infodrainage, the pipe names keep reverting to the autogenerated names given when pipe is created in Civil3D even though they were renamed in Civil3D.

Include parts mapping files for the UKIE country kit by default.

Across the UKIE region many designers will use the UKIE country kit for building Civil3D models, instead of everyone making their own parts map files this could be an integral part of the data exchange between two Autodesk products, included in th...

Automatic Syncing for Civil3D Catchments and Infodrainage

We have been making catchments in Civil3D first and then exporting to Infodrainage. But if the catchments ever need to change , we have to change both the Civil3D catchment that houses our drainage area maps and the infodrainage inflow area. It wo...
