Autodesk Software Helps Company Create Distinctive Transit Shelters and Displays

Autodesk has named Tolar Manufacturing (Tolar), a California-based manufacturer of transit shelters, street furniture and advertising kiosks, as the Autodesk Inventor of the Month for January 2012. Tolar was recognized for its use of Autodesk software in creating custom products tailored to the needs of municipalities throughout North America. In this slidecast Patrick Merrick, executive vice president of Tolar, discusses the use of Autodesk software to help design and fabricate best-in-class bus shelters, street furniture and display structures. Working with Autodesk Gold Partner KETIV Technologies, Tolar has significantly expanded its Digital Prototyping portfolio in recent years and now relies on Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Inventor Publisher, Autodesk Showcase and Autodesk Vault software.

[mhok20]

but really i wander ... what about the upper part of the shelter ... isnt it too small ..?? it doesn't shield that amount of sun rays ... or rain ... wt is the pt behind the good design but not that good serviceability ..>!!

Designing bus shelters may not be the sexiest topic, but calling this "boring" seems harsh. Street furniture is a huge part of urban renewal, and a lot of design firms may benefit from hearing about Tolar's experiences. I do think animations, and more images of Inventor screen captures would enhance this video.

WOW, it was the most boring autodesk presentation ever. Well done!
