To Set Height and Ground Clearance

If you intend to perform a vertical clearance path analysis for the vehicle then you need either to enter a custom side elevation or set the overall height and ground clearance to use the default vehicle type elevation adjusted for these values. You may enter a side elevation just like any other outline.

To use the default outline

  1. Highlight Body outline (side elevation).
  2. Enter the Maximum height and Minimum ground clearance in the Details section at the bottom.
  3. Click OK to confirm. The side-elevation ‘stretches’ such that the highest and lowest points correspond to the values you provide.
  4. Important: If you do not enter these values, defaults are used. It is unlikely that the default values will be precisely correct so to obtain useful results, you must enter these values unless you define a custom side elevation.
