Difficulties installing Automated Driving Toolbox™ Interface for Unreal Engine® 4

Hi,

I am trying to test out the Automated Driving Toolbox to see if it will be useful for my research project. I am having trouble getting it installed. I am following the guide here: https://de.mathworks.com/help/driving/ug/install-and-configure-support-package-for-customizing-scenes.html

But after installing the Add-Ons it seems like the guide jumps a step and I can't find the corresponding files or plug-ins it it is talking about. I try copying the files like it says in the next step using the command window in Matlab, but it returns to me that the files can't be found. I also have watched the tutorial on it and it seems like he has files I do not have. Is there something I am missing, or maybe it is my lack of knowledge on Matlab, that is hampering me moving forward in using this add-on and plug-in. Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

Jack

Hi Jack,

you can first check if the Support Package was installed:

• You should see it in the MATLAB Add-on manager.

• I would recommend to check if the plugins and the Unreal project are in the support package installation folder. You can get the installation folder using the following MATLAB command:

pathToSupportPkg = fullfile(matlabshared.supportpkg.getSupportPackageRoot(), "toolbox", "shared", "sim3dprojects", "spkg")

If the files are there the command sim3d.utils.copyExampleSim3dProject from doc will copy everything to the correct place. If this command throwns an error it would help if we can get the error message.

Regards,

Simone

Hi Simone,

That was it. I was looking in the wrong folders for the plugins and projects, but now it is up and running. The other problem of the copy function is how I have Matlab and Unreal installed, which added some other issues. Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jack
