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
