Parking Stripes

[Anonymous]

Is there a quick and efficient way to show parking stripes and accessible parking symbol on pavement for 3D modeling in AC 12?

Look in your object library (use the "find library parts" option) for "parking". There are parts in the standard library, including a wheelchair symbol (in AC11 at least)

Thanks.

Odd thing though, the objects only show up when I select All Libraries instead of a AC 12 Library.

There are two objects:
a) Parking Place 12. When I try to widen the default stall width of 8'-2" I end up with only one 'line'. Not sure how to increase the number of parking stalls.

b)Parking Place Polyline 12. This offer little more flexibility. However it has its own set of quirks. If I increase the number of parking stalls the HC symbol disappears. Unable to remove or modify this object so it appears as open end stalls stall instead of rectangular boxes in 3D view.

Unless I am overlooking some parametric controls I find these objects 'clunky' to work with.

You obtain the desired number of spaces (stripes) by stretching the placed object, unless you want to do the math and enter the desired width. See attached stretch of the editable hotspot and the ghosting showing the spaces that are being created during the stretch.
