Vehicle Animation Paths allow users to utilize the smooth driving animations of paths with a Vehicle Animation. Using a vehicle animation path to create an animation of a vehicle entering and leaving the construction site is much quicker than manually creating a Keyframe Animation.

Vehicle Animation Paths are created using the Paths App. To create a Vehicle Animation Path it is important the user understands operations associated with creating Paths.

Unlike some paths, Vehicle Animation Paths do not have forks. This ensures that the vehicle is always taking the intended route through the construction site. The example below shows a typical Vehicle Animation Path for a concrete mixer entering the site, Navigation navigating to the concrete pump and then leaving the construction site. In this example a red egress route is also overlayed over the Vehicle Animation Path to show the path the concrete pump would take through the Vehicle animation path.

A Vehicle Animation Path can be used for separate animations and or separate vehicles. The entire path or only a portion of the path can be used for a separate animation and the vehicle may exit or enter the path at any node along the path.
