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...

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

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.

Export of foul network to Civils 3D

Currently, the InfoDrainage plugin requires the network to be analysed/validated before it can be imported, and this is not currently an option for the foul network and therefore prevents this type of network from being exported. After speaking to...

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...

Infodrainage modeling and analysis in Civil 3D

It would be good at some point to be able to run Infodrainage hydraulic analysis directly in Civil 3D. See below key issues we currently have with export/import tool: Stormwater control features: For some reason, when exported to Civil 3D they a...
