FARO Zone 2D Performance

The Leading 2D Public Safety Diagramming Software

With FARO Zone 2D, it’s fast and easy to create detailed, accurate diagrams. Start with a to-scale satellite map, bring in a top-down view of a point cloud from your laser scanner, and then import total station data or enter hand measurements in baseline or triangulation format. You can even merge data from all of these sources and import drawings from other CAD applications. FARO Zone 2D exceeds expectations as a powerful diagramming and pre-planning software tool.

FARO Zone 2D Features

Satellite Image A.I. Vehicle Detection and Clean-Out

Use A.I. functionality to assist in cleaning out vehicles in any Google, Bing, or aerial photo. Remove unwanted vehicles in the Google or Bing satellite image with just a few clicks and create a clean, blank slate of the intersection from an imported satellite image.

Match and Clone

Match or replicate the properties of a selected object to another object in the drawing. Quickly and easily duplicate properties and objects in your scene. Create your own legends using your ideal settings for text, dimensions, line types and save time by matching instead of setting properties.

Favorites Workflow Toolbar System

Create and refine custom workflow toolbars (Symbols, Models, and Tools) to increase productivity and retain proficiency. Select symbols, models, and commands as favorites which you can quickly access, reuse and share. Saved workflows are especially useful after long periods between use.

AXON Upload/Download

Upload and download Zone projects to AXON's secure cloud storage for easy access and sharing of projects.

Import Latest DXF/DWG files into Zone

Import the latest version of ACAD dxf/dwg files into Zone. Zone can work with most data sets. DWG/DXF files are common outputs from other programs and data tools.

Flexible Starting Point

Create a rough sketch or an exact representation of a scene based on manual measurements, data from a total station, satellite maps or an orthgraphic projection from a FARO laser scanner.

Essential Drawing and Editing Tools

Diagram anything in the scene to exact measurements with easy drawing tools. Change object properties and use drag and drop editing to change the size, rotation and location of objects.

Aerial Map Import

Diagram streets scenes and buildings by importing aerial maps from Google Maps^® or Bing^®. Since the map is a 1:1 scale, use it to take accurate measurements, trace buildings and streets with ease.

Automatic Snaps

Place accurate dimensions, connect objects, eliminate loose ends and create perfect corners between lines and walls.

Pre-drawn Symbols

Incorporate thousands of pre-drawn symbols for crash scenes, crime scenes, fire scenes, pre-incident plans and event plans. Find the perfect symbol with the search tool and easily change the size, rotation and color of symbols.

Power Tools

Accelerate numerous drawing tasks, including drawing streets, intersections, stairs and walls with doors and windows.

Add Photographs and Hyperlinks

Apply and change measurement units to dimensions automatically and throughout the drawing with a single click.

Special Line Types
