Crash Zone - What's new


Version 8 is here! Get it while it's HOT!

The new Crash Zone and Crime Zone are filled with all the new and improved features you have asked about, like incredible new Animation Tools, a new 3D Body Poser, Skid Analysis and Momentum Calculation tools, a 3D Stair Builder, Vehicle Database, and much more!

Plus - Purchase or upgrade now to Version 8 and you get 6 months of FREE updates, which will give you many more, powerful new features!

 
Body Poser Toolbox
ü Amazing New Body Poser! The new Body Poser helps you get exactly the right pose! You can accuratly represent the body found at the scene.
  • Select gender, height, and a basic pose, such as running or sitting.
  • Drag each joint and limb to the desired position.
  • Change skin color and clothes color.
  • 3D viewing tools let you view the body from any side before placing.
  • Bodies can easily be edited after being placed.
  • Save poses to use again later.
 
ü New Crash Reconstruction Calculation Tools!
  • Use the new multi-surface Skid Analysis tools to calculate pre- and post-impact speeds based on the length of skid marks in the diagram, even across multiple surfaces with varying coefficients of friction. Skid length measurements are automatically inserted into the combined formula when tire marks are selected from your scaled diagram.
  • Determine approach and departure angles of vehicles using the Momentum Angles toolbox.
  • Select vehicles from the new Vehicle Database to obtain exact weights, wheelbase, and other specifications, automatically populating the correct fields in the toolbox.
  • Plug the results of the Skid Analysis and the Momentum Angles toolbox into the new Momentum Calculator to determine vehicle speeds at impact.
  • The Combined Speed Toolbox uses the results of the Skid Analysis and the Momentum Calculator to calculate a vehicle's speed at the beginning of a skid.
 
ü Create 2D and 3D Animations – The new Animation tools make it easy to show the 2D or 3D motion of any symbols in your diagrams. Just draw the path of the symbols that you want to put in motion (vehicles, people, bullets, cows, whatever!), based on the measurements you took at the scene. Place Key Event Points to show where changes in velocity and rotation occur, then watch the movie. It’s the easiest way to create accurate animations of crime and crash scenes!

ü Easy Vehicle Database! Now you can place 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.

Use this data to scale the 3D vehicle symbols, providing you with an accurate representation. You can even choose to place the specifications in the drawing next to the symbol.
(Specifications are based on the Canadian Vehicle Specifications as published posted by the Canadian Assoc. of Road Safety Professionals, CARSP.)

"This software is extremely useful for collision reconstruction and court presentations. I was able to generate impressive results with minimal training. 3D is our primary tool for jury presentations and the new Crime Zone 3D makes simple Events look very professional!"

 

Easy Vehical Database
 

Wall Evidence

ü Bitmaps (Photos) Now Display in 3D! Digital photographs, aerial and satellite images can now be displayed in your 3D diagrams. Place line work, vehicles, and other 3D symbols onto aerial images. You can even show pictures on walls!
 
Stair Builder

ü New 3D Stair and Ramp Builder! Create accurate 3D stairways, ramps, and ladders with this amazing new toolbox.

  • Choose from five pre-drawn templates to get you started.
  • Enter the exact values for rise, tread, width, and number of stairs, or enter the overall length and height of the entire stair way.
  • Add railings, change colors, assign an elevation.
  • Use the 3D viewing tools to view your stairway from any angle.
 

ü More Powerful Easy Intersection! Just point and click to create complex intersections with up to 20 lanes in each road segment. Use simple check boxes to add turn lanes, medians, cross walks, bus turn outs, and more!

ü Many New 3D symbols! Including accurate cars, SUVs, farm equipment, aircraft, vehicle seats, end caps for guardrails, boat trailers, evidence, and more.

ü New 3D Line-types for culverts, trajectories, 3D berms, Jersey barriers, barrier terminals, sand barrels, reflectors, and more.

Easy Intersection
  ü All New 3D Smooth Shading Now your 3D images will look more realistic than ever with our new smooth shading technology! New options allow you to choose the type of rendering and lighting control you want to use so you get the best possible image.

  There are so many more improvements in Version 8. You have to see it to believe it!
 
Over the next year we'll add even more awesome tools and features at no extra cost to you! That's always been the CAD Zone way and this time we're giving you a sneak peak at what's to come! Here are some of the features you will get for free over the next 12 months:

Enter X, Y, and Z coordinates from the Manual Coordinate Entry tool.

Control Pan and Zoom with the mouse wheel (in 2D and 3D)!

Object Length Tool : Label the length (true 3D length) of any object (arcs, curves, circles, lines, and polygons) selected in the diagram.

Improved Animation Tools: KEP Manager now has built in preview of the animation with editable data so you can see your changes instantly. Synchronize up to four moving objects. Set WAIT time at a KEP.

AVI Animation Files : Generate AVI files from the Animation tool choosing from any codec on your system. Convert your AVI animation into a file you can burn to and play from a DVD. You can also choose to create your AVI in a resolution (NTSC or PAL)  specific for viewing on television.

Critical Speed Yaw and Curve Crush Calculations
Incremental Save (Version Control) Enter your own data into the Vehicle Specs Database

AND MUCH MORE...
