RDV for Autodesk Land Desktop

Description / Benefits:

Rapid Design Visualization (RDV) is an application developed specifically for use with Land Desktop, Autodesk's industry leading platform for Civil Engineering design software. RDV enables any Land Desktop user to create a fully interactive visualization environment directly from their Land Desktop project. Using RDV for Land Desktop designers can easily create drive through simulations, flyovers and interactive simulations for proposed roads, subdivisions, underground infrastructure, interchanges and many other complex land development projects. RDV for Land Desktop’s interactive simulations are cost effective during every phase of the project from preliminary design validation for internal use through to presentations for public review and even on the construction site to visualize complex construction scenarios. RDV for Land Desktop is web enabled so that users can easily publish their simulations to the internet or intranet enabling them to communicate their design intent to anyone, anywhere and at anytime.
