How to change vehicles between your stops

Why change vehicle between stops?

Each transport mode has its own visual language: planes draw a curved flight line, cars and trains follow real roads, boats trace a sea path. Mixing them mirrors how the trip actually happened and makes the animation more believable.

Select a segment

In the sidebar, expand the stop that ends the segment. The vehicle for the leg arriving at this stop is shown at the top. Click it to open the vehicle picker.

Pick from the 3D catalog

The picker opens in two parts: a row of transport modes at the top (car, van, plane, motorbike, bike, train, bus, boat, walk, extras), and below it a grid of 3D Fluency models for the selected mode. Pick a mode, then a model — each is oriented automatically along the heading of the route.

The eye-off icon on the left of the grid hides the vehicle for that segment if you only want the route line to move.

Flight vs road behavior

Air vehicles (plane, helicopter, rocket) automatically draw a great-circle flight curve between the two stops. Ground vehicles snap to the closest routable road network. There is nothing to configure — pick the right vehicle and the path adapts.

Tip: use the same vehicle across many segments

If most of your trip is by car, set the default vehicle in the Animation panel. New stops added after that will inherit it automatically — you only override the few segments that need a different vehicle.
