    Does anyone know if it would be possible to produce an extension for vehicle swept path analysis in SketchUp?

    There is software out there such as Autotrack and Autoturn but these are expensive and require other software such as Autocad to run them.

    I've also tried Autoturnonline (https://autoturnonline.com/) which as the name implies, runs online without other software, where a DWG can be uploaded and a swept path created but I found it very clunky and limited. It's also $69 per month which is still expensive and has a very limited vehicle selection for that price.

    It would be great if someone could write something for a reasonable price that provides basic vehicle tracking within SketchUp for those of us not requiring specialised highway engineering grade software but nevertheless would like to check swept paths in masterplans etc.

      Hi All,
      Looks like this was a non starter. There is a free tool that works with AutoCAD called CAD tools. Unfortunately for me it doesn't run on AutoCAD LT.
      I too would be happy to pay a one off cost for this type of add on as long as it had a few different vehicle types programmed.

        You could installing BrisCAD as a trial for a month & then CADtools if it's just a one-off.
        BrisCAD is a lot lighter package than the full version of AutoCAD.
