Access roads can be placed cutting through existing parking rows. These roads may be at any angle and may cut through as many parking rows as you wish.
To place an access road freehand
- Select Place access road from the Vehicle Tracking, Parking Layout menu and click on the Place access road button on the Vehicle Tracking Parking Layout toolbar or type CREATEACCESSROAD on the command line.
- The access road is defined by the left curb, the right curb or the centerline. Use the mouse to pick the start of the access road followed by the end. Note that the points you pick are only used for alignment purposes and their locations are otherwise unimportant. The Access Road Properties dialog is displayed.
- The width of the road may either be determined from a standard or entered explicitly.
- Select the Standard, Service type and Flow type and the Width from standard is displayed. If you want to override this value, select Custom width and enter the required width.
- Set the Line alignment according to the alignment points you picked.
-
Click OK to confirm. Autodesk Vehicle Tracking places the access road trimming any parking rows that your alignment crosses and calculating new end islands where necessary.
To place an access road on a line
- Select Place access road on line from the Vehicle Tracking, Parking Layout menu and click on the Place access road on line button on the Vehicle Tracking Parking Layout toolbar or type CREATEACCESSROADFROMLINE on the command line.
- Select a line representing the alignment of the left curb, the right curb or the centerline. The Access Road Properties dialog is displayed.
- The width of the road may either be determined from a standard or entered explicitly.
- Select the Standard, Service type and Flow type and the Width from standard is displayed. If you want to override this value, select Custom width and enter the required width.
- Set the Line alignment according to the alignment points you picked. Note that the access road will be drawn from start to finish of the line that you picked so if this line represents a curb, you should make sure you know which end is the start. If you get it wrong, then use Undo and rerun the command specifying the opposite curb.
- Click OK to confirm. Autodesk Vehicle Tracking places the access road trimming any parking rows that your alignment crosses and calculating new end islands where necessary.
