Finding Data for Typical Vehicles and adding to library

[mikeshick]

I'm not sure if I missed this somewhere, but I'm looking basic vehicle types like cars and trucks to design residential driveways.  As I look through the OTB library, I don't seem to find any of those type of vehicles.  While I can find some information on line for making custom vehicles, some of the particular questions don't have answers readily available.  Anyone have some pointers for getting data and or using library already created?  Anyone have some vehicles up for donation?

Thanks,

Further, I notice there are other libraries through Autodesk, but I cannot seem to link to them.  Any assistance out there?

Mike,

In Vehicle Tracking 2018 these a collections of realistic vehicles based on dimensions of actual commercially available cars, utility vehicles and vans. They are located in the "North American Vehicles", "European Vehicles" and "Asian Vehicles" libraries. These are examples of common vehicle and can easily be used as a starting point to create new similar vehicles by using the vehicle wizard.

If you are using an earlier version of Vehicle Tracking these vehicles were a separate subscription benefit, and needed to be installed via a download from your subscription account. Go to the product updates page and search for "vehicles" to find the download.

Can I install AVT 2018 on civil 3d 2017?

I do not believe you can install VT 2018 on any 2017 product.  I have a subscription and network license version and am entitled to three versions back, I have not moved to the new licensing format yet and not sure if this has changed.  WHen stating three versions back I can run 2016, 2017 and 2018 version of the product with the Network Lic Manager.  If you are on subscription I would ask your reseller if you are entitled to the 2017 version of VT and load that to your enviroment.

Mike,

No Vehicle Tracking 2018 only runs on AutoCAD 2018 based versions cad, but the extra realistic vehicles for 2017 can be downloaded free of charge if you have a valid subscription for the 2017 version from the product updates page of you subscription center.
