Properties' Vehicles (3D Simulations) Category Dialog Box

Vehicle Draw Options Section

Set which elements to draw. Click Properties to set individual element layers/levels, colors, and transparencies where applicable for elements that are selected to be drawn. Select the Realistic checkbox to draw the realistic 3D vehicle drawing whenever the vehicle is drawn (see Customizing AutoTURN Pro -> Creating a Realistic 3D Vehicle Drawing).

Note:

• The Tire Treads checkbox cannot be selected unless the Tires checkbox is first selected.
• The Vehicle elements are always drawn in simulations.
• When the Vehicle Name checkbox is selected, the vehicle group and name will be drawn in every vehicle instance in the simulation.

Draw Vehicles At

Note: Vehicles are always drawn at both ends of the simulation and at the changes of direction.

• Click Path Ends to have vehicles drawn at the ends of the path.
• Click Intervals to have vehicles placed at spaced intervals. Type the spacing between vehicle placements in the edit box. This value is expressed in vehicle lengths. For example, a value of 1 would result in vehicles being drawn with the end of one coinciding with the beginning of the next.
• Click Section Ends to have vehicles drawn at the ends of the sections. When a simulation is made up of more than one section, each section ends where the next one starts. Since it would be confusing to draw the vehicle at both the end of the section and the start of the new section this setting provides the option to draw the vehicle at either one.

Reset Properties

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

Click this button to reset the properties in all category pages to the currently loaded property set file.

Save Properties

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

Click this button to save the current properties to a file. When you click this button, the Save Properties dialog box displays. In the Name box, type the desired name for the property set file, and then click OK.

Load Properties

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

Click this button to load a previously saved property set file. When you click this button, the Load Properties dialog box displays. Select the desired property set file in the list, and then click OK.

Extract Properties

Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.

Click this button, and then select an existing turn simulation to replace the current properties with the properties from the selected simulation.

Note: Selecting a 2D simulation will replace the 2D properties only. Selecting a 3D simulation will replace the 3D properties only.

Update

Click this button, and then pick an existing turn simulation in the drawing to update the turn simulation to the currently displayed properties . This is useful for making changes to existing turn simulations without having to regenerate or place them again.
