Computer Aided Drawing using CAD Zone Software

Great Lakes Crash Analysis personnel are available for training in CAD Zone Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) software. Basic and advanced classes are generally held twice each year at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, Wisconsin. These courses focus on the preparation of scaled scene diagrams for crash reconstruction and crime scene applications. Students at GLCA CAD courses have included private engineers and law enforcement officers from local, county, and state levels.

It is also possible to bring our CAD Zone courses to an outside facility or department. Please contact us for more information or to set up training in your area.

2-D Scene Diagrams2-D orthogonal diagrams show the involved roadways, vehicles, and relative object positions.

3-D Scene DiagramsA 3-D diagram shows the geometric perspective between objects and provides a real-world view.

Forensic Mapping

GLCA has been certified in the instruction of forensic mapping using total station technology. Our courses focus on evidence documentation, instrument operation, and data importation into diagramming software. We also provide instruction on mapping techniques and methods to increase scene productivity. Please contact us to discuss your specific training needs.
