Vehicle Tracking Query

[dbanaszak]

I am a long time user of AutoTurn, but the Vehicle Tracking in Civil3D isn't quite the same. I have established a centerline with which to create my truck template, and it creates a template that allows me to adjust the centerline to ensure clearances on my site. What I want to do now is drive the truck template along the centerline and drop a copy of it in certain locations to ensure all of the truck is in a safe location free from other cross traffic. Any hints as to how I can do this with Vehicle Tracking? Thanx

I define a centerline that creates my driven path from end to end. What I want to do is drag the truck template along that centerline and drop the template at specific spots along that centerline. I sed to be able to do it with AutoTurn, but I'm not sure how to do it now. Thanx

Yep, which is what's in the link I provided.

Do you want to position the vehicle on the path? - https://help.autodesk.com/view/VEHTRK/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-27BAAA9F-4B94-49C0-B723-8B7B7B8DC0F2

I'm not seeing it. I don't even see the Position Vehicle dialog in 2026. I want to drive the vehicle on the path similar to how Animate does, but under my cursor control. Then have it freeze at certain points along the path and leave a copy of the vehicle showing its articulation at that point.
