Delivery Truck Block

Delivery Truck Block

Delivery Truck Block

(OP)
Hi

Anyone know where I can get a side elevation of a delivery Van (truck) and a modern type vehicle of dimensions approx 8m long x 2.4m wide x 3.1 high.

Much appreciate it!

RE: Delivery Truck Block

(OP)
Thanks!

Already been there not quite what Im after !

RE: Delivery Truck Block

(OP)
Thanks Tcarpentieri1

Great site, and very close to what Im after but again not quite right!

Cheers!

RE: Delivery Truck Block

why don't you take a JPEG picture of such truck and scale it to size in ACAD as a image.

RE: Delivery Truck Block

(OP)
is there such a thing as a camera that can take it and if so does it come out as a block?

RE: Delivery Truck Block

it comes out as an image only which can be scaled when the image is inserted in ACAD.  Perhaps you can the draw over the image and save the vector drawing as a block

RE: Delivery Truck Block

Thanks chicopee

So just use a digital camera and trace over image and scale back as appropriate right?

RE: Delivery Truck Block

yes

RE: Delivery Truck Block

I use that technique for simple site plans for interior alterations where all I have is the county's GIS data.  I typically have one dimension to scale up to make it reasonably accurate.

Ive never done it.  It sounds OK but for accurate details its pretty rough and crude.

However thanks for the tip!

RE: Delivery Truck Block

I agree.  I use it for like interior alterations on commerical projects or additions for residential and the owner/tenant does not have a site plan and the additions easily meet the zoning setbacks.
