Title: BricsTurn Hints
Post by: seasdes on November 28, 2011, 01:07:34 AM

Are there any hints available in drawing the polyline for a vehicle movement. At present it seems to be a lot of trial and error.

Yes it’s a trial and error process.
In most cases the vehicle path is based on a existing road alignment. If not you start with a short straight polyline element then type in "A" to get a arc and then add more elements as you need. To round a corner you can draw two polylines and do a fillet to get your path

Run a calculation, edit your polyline by moving some vertex and do another try.
