My Role
|
AutoCAD Civil 3D application is Autodesk's design solution for civil engineers, transportation engineers, and surveyors.

I was the lead designer for this crutial feature in AutoCAD Civil 3D which enabled transportation engineers to create road layouts adhering to local standards.

Project Desicription
Local highway design rules are often based on the speed of the roadway, and provide limitations on the geometry of a designed road. The goal of this project was to allow the user to automatically update the geometry of an existing roadway so it honors the chosen design standards for a given speed limit.

Just-in-time UI
There were over 50 commands that a user could use to create the geometry of the roadways. However, accessing the commands and understanding the differences between each was proving to be difficult for the user. The goal of this project was to simplify the experience by surfacing only the most relevant commands to the user as she made progress on her designs.

Only relevant commands offered to the user based on the user's context, and her in-canvas interactions:
