CipesDesign Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 If you are using VWA 9xx , look in the folder called "Object Libraries" and find "SiteWork_Vehicles_mcd." In it you will find 3 or 4 different size & shape cars and trucks. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Denis, Sorry, I forgot you are in 8.5. Still I think I remember there being some vehicles hiding in there somewhere. PLC Quote Link to comment

They have a fair number of DXFs you could import, including a VW Bug. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Okay, I found it. In VW 8.5.2 go to: TOOLKIT>ARCHITECTURAL>SYMBOLS>02-SiteWork>Cars & Trucks. There is one 3d car symbol. It is probably too long. Put one on your drawing, select it, then go to "Edit Symbol". In the Edit Symbol area you will see that the car is just a group. Pull it to the dimension you want (or make other modifications) and then exit symbol. This ought to give you a reasonable facsimile. If you want a better selection you can purchase lots of symbols, including cars & trucks from imagecels.com. Happy Holidays from Oregon USA PLC Quote Link to comment
Denis O'Reilly Posted December 11, 2001 Author Share Posted December 11, 2001 CipesDesign, Thanks! I was aware of that car, and appreciate the trouble you have gone too, but putting that motor into my model would really take away from the visuals! Its not the greatest, I found some ok motors on zygote.com I might buy, will also go look in 3d cafe cheers guys thanks any one else with on to swap mail me...... Quote Link to comment
