The Cad Zone - Crash Zone

For 10 years The Crash Zone has been the drawing program of choice for Accident Reconstructionists who insist on functionality, precision, and ease of use. The new Crash Zone Version 8 has even more tools for crash investigators, including easy 3D animations, a vehicle specifications database, skid analysis and momentum calculations, and an easy-to-use 3D body poser! No special training is required! Free Technical Support!

"Definitely great software.”

With Crash Zone anyone can turn a 2D diagram into a compelling 3D, courtroom ready exhibit. With Crash Zone version 8 you can set your diagrams in motion!

New Version 8! New calculation tools make it easy to determine pre-impact and post-impact speeds from skid marks (even across different surfaces) and determine impact speeds with the new Momentum Calculator. Use the Vehicle Database to obtain exact specifications for weight and wheelbase values to use in the speed formulas. The new Body Poser lets you easily pose bodies in 3D! Click here to learn more!

3D Animations! Now you can put your 2D and 3D diagrams in motion using The Crash Zone’s new Animation Tools. Just draw the path of the vehicles that you want to put in motion, based on the measurements you took at the scene. Place Key Event Points to show changes in the vehicle’s velocity and rotation, then watch it move. It’s the easiest way to create accurate animations of crash and crime scenes!

Easy Vehicle Database! Now you can obtain vehicle specifications and a scaled outline for most vehicles by selecting them from an industry-standard database. The outline is drawn to exact specifications for length, width, center of mass, wheelbase, front and rear overhang. Easily stretch any of the detailed, 3D vehicle symbols to have the same size as the outline.
(Specifications are based on the Canadian Vehicle Specifications as published posted by the Canadian Assoc. of Road Safety Professionals, CARSP.)

More 3D! New tools make it painless to pose bodies exactly the way you want to see them in 3D Easily draw 3D surfaces and trajectories, place symbols on slopes and assign exact heights, generate profiles, even show evidence on walls and vertical surfaces!

ü	Easy to Learn! Unique "Easy Tools" let you draw complex intersections, streets, and buildings with just a few clicks! More than 70 training movies show you exactly how to draw! Free phone Technical Support!
ü	Training Widely Available! Training courses are available at colleges and institutes across North America, including The IPTM, Henry Lee Institute, Ontario Police College, Fox Valley College, UC Riverside, and many more.

Faster! Quickly enter measurements in the new Coordinate Data Entry table! Pre-drawn symbols and intersection templates make drawing faster than ever! Create your own symbols and templates too! 60+ line types - guard rails, fences, and more.

More Powerful! New features let you draw 3D surfaces and trajectories, place symbols on slopes and assign exact heights, generate profiles, show evidence on walls and vertical surfaces!

More Compatible! Import 3D Data from Sokkia, Nikon, Laser Technology, and from other laser devices. Import & export AutoCAD .dwg and .dxf files! Works with The Pocket Zone!

Better Than Ever! More 2D & 3D symbols and a new Symbol Manager lets you find them faster! Pose bodies, even in 3D! Easy Intersection Builder allows more lanes and variable lane widths! More custom line types! Draw 3D doors & windows!

Widely accepted for courtroom exhibits! Thousands of police officers and investigators have used diagrams created with The Crash Zone and The Crime Zone to win their court cases. You can even make your own animations using images created with The Crash Zone and Microsoft Power Point®, or any other presentation program.

"Very effective! The Crime Zone has been instrumental in successfully reconstructing major crime scenes for DA's and juries. Thanks for a job well done!"
