# IFC 4.3 Support

IFC 4.3 is the version of the IFC schema that offers extended support for Infrastructure categories, like Roads, Rails or Bridges (read more about [IFC Schema versions](/understanding-ifc/ifc-schema-versions.md)).

Autodesk has released a plugin that offers early IFC 4.3 support in Civil 3D 2022 and later. The plugin can be downloaded from the Autodesk Account:

After the installation, Civil 3D users are able to access the new commands `IFCINFRA....` in the command line or the buttons in the Add-ins tab:&#x20;
