Creating Transition Racks and Bike Racks

What:

 4 new line objects with calculators designed to tell you how many bikes can fit in a designated space. 

 

Bike Racks 1

 Transition racks: double-sided 

Bike Racks 2

 Transition racks: single-sided 

Bike Racks 3

 Bike racks: single-sided 

Bike Racks 4

 Bike racks: double-sided  

 

Why:

 These objects were used often in our previous OnePlan Classic platform, and have proven very helpful for Triathlon event planners.  

 

How it works: 

All 4 objects can be found in the Object Library under the race pack: 

Bike Racks 5

Bike Racks 7

Bike Racks 8

 

  • The object is placed like any other line
  • There are 2 variations, double and single sided. Yhey have different line patterns to distinguish them
  • The properties panel has the following fields:
    • Line length: The length of the line drawn by the user
    • Bikes per rack: Input by the users
    • Pole length: Input by the users
    • Distance between racks: Input by the users
    • Amount of racks= (length + distance) / (segment + distance)
    • Amount of bikes = No. segments x Bikes per rack
  • The defaults have been set:
    • Bikes/rack = 8
    • Pole length = 3m
    • Distance between racks = 3.5m

  • The object is placed like any other line
  • There are 2 variations, double and single sided. They have different line patterns to distinguish them
  • The properties panel has the following fields:
    • Line length: The length of the line drawn by the user
    • Bike footprint: Input by the users
    • Bike space: Input by the users
    • No. bikes = (distance + space) / (space + footprint)
  • The defaults are as follows:
    • Bike space = 1m
    • Bike footprint = 0.5m
