New Version 7.2 Crime/Crash Zone Drawing Software From Cad Zone, Inc. Is Easier, Faster, With More Powerful 3d

The CAD Zone, Inc. today announced Version 7.2 of its popular and widely used Crime Zone and Crash Zone diagramming software for law enforcement professionals.

The CAD Zone, a leading provider of diagramming software for crash and crime scene investigation, has improved its flagship software programs by making them faster, easier and more powerful than prior versions.

Both programs now feature improved data import capabilities, which is critical for investigators who use laser measurement systems, such as total stations. Sokkia’s COMMS program also has been integrated to allow direct download and importing of 3D data from all Sokkia total stations, including linework.

A new Coordinate Data Entry Table allows measurements to be entered more quickly than ever before. The user can enter baseline or triangulation measurements with descriptions, plus connect points with lines, arc and curves. Results of the entered data points can be previewed before the user commits to placing them in the diagram.

More Versatile 3D Features
Crime Zone and Crash Zone V. 7.2 also features a more powerful 3D Viewer. Users, whether they are creating a crash or crime scene diagram, can build a diagram in 2D, then click one button to build a realistic 3D model. The 3D Viewer provides a view of the scene from any vantage point, and the user can easily create animations and “walk-throughs” of a scene.

The 3D Viewer’s new ability to create 3D surfaces is particularly helpful when drawing sloped roadways for crash scenes. Symbols, such as vehicles, can then be easily aligned to the sloped surface. Version 7.2’s 3D Viewer also now can show evidence, such as blood stains on walls and other vertical surfaces.

Crime Zone and Crash Zone V. 7.2 offers these additional capabilities:

• Easy to Learn – The software’s “Easy Tools” features let the user draw complex intersections, streets, and buildings with just a few clicks. Training is available on CAD Zone’s website and through many colleges and academies, including the Institute of Police Technology and Management (IPTM).
• More Compatible – Version 7.2 allows direct import of 3D data from Sokkia..SDR files, Laser Technology .RAW files, and from other total
  stations in ASCII format. The new software version also will import and export AutoCAD .dwg and .dxf files.
• Improved Features – Crime and Crash Zone 7.2 offers more 2D and 3D symbols, which can be located faster than in previous versions. The user can pose bodies in 3D. The Easy Intersection Builder has been improved to allow up to 20 lanes with variable lane widths.

Flexible Pricing
The CAD Zone’s Version 7.2 of Crime Zone and Crash Zone is priced at $699, which includes the 3D Viewer. Discounts are available when ordering multiple copies. To order, or to obtain a free evaluation copy, call The CAD Zone, Inc., at: 800-641-9077, or visit: www.cadzone.com.
