Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro.

The vehicle body envelopes drawn in turn simulations are drawn to the extents of the vehicle body which, along the bottom of the vehicle, are derived from the ground clearance values extending to the vertical front and rear edges of the vehicle. Many vehicles have front and rear bumpers which are situated at a higher ground clearance than the vehicle's undercarriage, allowing the vehicle to travel up and down slight inclines without damaging the vehicle. The Chamfers feature allows designers to create custom vehicles with chamfered front and rear profiles in order to meet this need. Chamfers can be configured for each part of a multi-part vehicle.

Note: Chamfers are applied to 3D turn simulations and 2D vertical simulations.

Example of front and rear chamfers applied to a vehicle

Front and Rear Chamfer Sections

From Bottom

The chamfer is measured from the bottom of the profile.

From Front

The chamfer is measured from the front of the profile.

From Rear

The chamfer is measured from the rear of the profile.

Notch

This will draw a notch instead of a chamfer.
