Thank you for this nice video, your efforts are appreciated, but still a general explanation. Could you please show us the results file which we get from the check sight distance tool (TXT report file), and explain it in detail?
Hi, love the vid but one question wrt the zone of visual influence. From what I can tell the analysis assumes an eye height equal to the surface, ie, it's like your lying down on the road. Is there a way to set the eye height in the same way as you'd set it in the point to point? the reason I ask is that I'd like to use the tool for checking if light vehicles can see over safety windrows in a mine. I use the point to point and that's fine but checking all the different scenarios is a pain.
Unfortunately, C3D doesn’t provide an ‘eye height’ option for the ZVI. It’s a definite shortcoming that folks have been asking for about over a decade but no progress from Autodesk. As a workaround, what I’ve done in the past is build a grading object of the item I want to view from (i.e., a truck sized grading) and added that to the surface, then run the ZVI from that spot & elevation. It’s a bit tedious but it seems to work. Hope that helps!
