Project Galileo is a new technology preview for 3D city modeling, conceptual design and visualization in the planning phase of city-scale infrastructure projects. It is available on Autodesk Labs for free download.
Project Galileo is for planners, engineers, and designers, who need to easily view future designs of structures in the context of their intended urban environment. Project Galileo provides tools to include non-technical and technical stakeholders in the conceptualization and planning process of a new project, typically in an urban environment. By working in a digital model of an urban environment, stakeholders are able to experience the project before it is built. They can look at and evaluate alternative plans and designs.
The technology preview provides
- Free, downloadable Project Galileo desktop client application. A sample urban model installs with the free download, so anyone can take a quick test drive
- WikiHelp, videos and blogs that explain the preview and that show how Galileo can be used in some typical workflows
- Integration with AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk 3ds Max and other applications that can work with data through FDO or in FBX format
In addition, training and overview videos are available on the Autodesk Labs Project Galileo site and more will be added to that site and the Infrastructure YouTube channel. On the At Lands End blog you can find additional training information, announcements and tips and tricks.
Looking for Feedback
The Project Galileo team are looking those of who have used Project Galileo for at least a few hours so that we can learn more about how you got started with Galileo and how you think you could use it. We want to make sure we are designing Project Galileo to support the way you work, and your input would help us as we go about designing the first release of Galileo.
If you would like to help, please send your name, phone number, email address, and a brief description of your role to Eric Fain ([email protected]) and he’ll set up a time to chat.
