Visualization - Road Tools

To visualize road graphics in MotionView, you must open the Road Tools dialog located under Vehicle Tools.

Figure 1. Road Tools Selection Menu

From the dialog, select the desired road file. The crg files much be chosen directly instead of providing the rdf containing the crg. All of the road types mentioned in the above section except 3D Cleat can be visualized.

Figure 2. Road Tools Dialog

In the above shown road tools dialog, the road file path must be chosen as shown. Road Sampling can be changed as per user requirement to reduce the time for producing graphics.

Figure 3. Road File Selection

The [GRAPHICS] block as described in each road module has to be added for customization of visualization.

Flat

In the case of a flat road type, a checkered grid is created. The grid size is obtained from the LENGTH and WIDTH value available in [GRAPHICS] block. The square size is obtained from the ROAD_INCR value.

The road’s origin is shown by the marker in the figure below. If the ROAD_INCR is positive, the grid is created in positive x direction. If it is negative, the grid is created in negative x direction.
