Autodesk Design Visualization

Autodesk® provides state-of-the-art 3D design visualization tools that help you get a deeper understanding of how a project works before it’s built. You can detect certain errors in the beginning stages of the design process — the earlier you find them, the easier they are to fix. Design visualization helps you create better designs, while gaining a competitive edge.

Architects, designers and engineers can use visualization to make informed decisions throughout the building information modeling (BIM), infrastructure modeling and Digital Prototyping processes. For example:

• Architecture — Visualization plays a role at every stage of the architectural design process, including exploring complex organic forms, studying how light interacts with a design, validating a design for planning and public outreach, and marketing a building before breaking ground.
• Civil Engineering — Visualizing a project before it's built helps your firm, your clients, government agencies and community stakeholders better assess the impact the project will have on the surrounding area, as well as understand how it will perform in context.
• Manufacturing — Designers turn to industry-leading visualization software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, to create accurate and highly realistic visualizations of industrial machinery, automotive designs and consumer product prototypes.
