Turning Radius for Single Unit Truck

Does anyone have a block for a Single Unit Truck turning radius? I need to show one, and my boss wants me to trace a scan of it, but it's distorted. I'm pretty sure it's a scan of a copy of a copy. Anyway, I have found a ton of then for tractor trailors, but nothing that will work for a fire truck. Dimensions are 30' x 8.5' with min. outside radius of 42 and min. inside of 28.4. If anyone has this that they can share, I'd really appreciate it.

I had that on my list of "what to do when I run out of things to do", but not anymore.

Thank you so much !

P.S. What if Mark didn't want us to have
it.

Oh Well!

come-on, you guys didn't spend the $3-4K for a
license of AutoTURN to use once every 3-months? 

 

...and folks think Civil 3D is
expensive!

Been there - DOING that!

But I think we might re-evaluate that in our next strategic planning session.



BTW - thanks for all the contributions. I have the PB drop MH thing about 80%, but there is definately something wrong somewhere, I'm CONSTRAINED to believe. 🙂

If you get on their MAP program, which is like Subscription, it's not
near as much. We pay around $360 a year for one license of AutoTURN.
Then again, this is tax dollars paying for it so it doesn't really
affect me much. 🙂

Autoturn for design??? Whatever- you know we all pay the money just so you can play with the "drive" feature using the "stearing wheel". Fun, isn't it?? 🙂

Now you're onto something- I wonder if we could export a corridor to Xbox and drive..........

Oh hell yeah- how about some sort of computer game interface where users can upload their Civil 3d corridors to a common website, piece multiple ones together, and drive them using simulations like race cars, monster trucks, motorcycles, ect... All of the vehicle's turning, speed, and view constraints would come into play....

Ok, back to work now.

Does anybody know where I can find an index of the vehicle types (i.e. SU=Single Unit Truck)?  I try to store seldom used (but valuable) reference drawings with "plain names" rather than acronyms or "coded" descriptions. When it takes me longer to hunt through a directory for the right one than it would to just redraw it... Doesn't make it worth having all this great material, no?

 

Thanks much.
