AutoTURN Feature (Envelopes) - Why is the profile drawing used in the Insert Profile tool not drawn to scale?

Category: Envelopes

Topic: Profile scale

Answer: Please note that profile drawing used in Insert Profile tool is not up to scale and is intended for presentation purposes only, since the same profile can be used for multiple vehicles. Profiles in AutoTURN are often kept general because they allow us to add more details to the vehicle (better representation than other swept path solutions) and allow vehicle profiles to be shared by multiple vehicles reducing the size of the installation files, less disk space requirements, and reduces the amount of work when creating custom vehicles as profiles can be reused.

 

If you create a simulation with that vehicle, then the plan view of the vehicle is up to scale and if you measure that plan vehicle, dimensions will match the vehicle info.
