    Vehicle List

    Preview Area

    The selected vehicle is displayed in the preview area above the vehicle list. All standard vehicles display a dimensioned profile in the preview area. Custom vehicles display a dimensioned profile if a profile drawing has been created for it. A realistic vehicle drawing displays if the custom vehicle does not have a profile drawing but does have a realistic vehicle drawing (plan view) associated with it. The extents of the vehicle are represented as a rectangle if the custom vehicle does not have profile or realistic drawings associated with it.

    Click this button to delete the currently selected custom vehicle that was previously imported.

    Note: This button is only available in a user created design guideline and, if permissions are enabled, only when the user has an equivalent or higher access level than that of the custom vehicle. The access level of a custom vehicle is displayed in the top right corner of the preview area. For information on setting an access level, see Program Settings -> Permissions: Access Levels.
