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.

Below is an example of a concrete mixer entering the site, navigating to the concrete pump and then leaving the construction site.

Egress routes are being used to show the different movements.

• Red shows the path the mixer would likely take entering the site.

• Teal shows the path the mixer would take backing up to the pump.

• Green path shows the route the mixer would take leaving the site.

The vehicle may exit or enter the path at any node along the path. Therefore, all of theses different movements can be combined into the same Vehicle Animation Path:

Additionally other vehicles in the file could use the same Vehicle Animation path, if making similar movements.

In the above example the Red and Teal Sections would be used to create an animation of the Concete pump driving in and backing up, and the Green Section would be used to create the animation of the concrete pump leaving the site
