Marine Investigators now have the perfect solution for illustrating and reconstructing marine incidents. The FX3 diagramming engine combines our easy-to-use tools with a marine object library (specifically created by NASBLA trainers) to allow for quick, accurate creation of marine incidents.
SmartRoads with Measurement system combines the advanced diagramming technology of smartroads with the capability to insert Scene measurements for highly accurate diagrams.

FX3 Marine Basic provides a complete object library including a large number of boats and marine vessels for use in diagramming. Quickly draw waterways as necessary and drop the objects onto the scene.
a. Show fog or rain within your 3D walkthrough environment. You can control the density/intensity of the environmental effects to capture a perfect recreation of the day in question. |
Make the boats and other animated objects move in real time right on your diagram for powerful animations. This amazing component enables the user to perform time-distance analyses when only Yaw is of importance.
Reaction analysis allows reconstructionists to determine if an accident could be avoided |
The drawing engine builds the foundation for every edition of FX3. Starting with the simple drag & drop behaviour of the object library and the intuitive drawing tools with the properties dialog make diagramming accessible to everyone. Import Total Station data quickly and efficiently and let FX3 connect your points automatically.

|
 Create scenes using Poly curves, Retangles, Rines, Elipeses. Or use rapid diagraming tools like: SmartRooms, SmartRoad
|
 FX3 allows users to choose any vehicle from 1971 to 2006 and insert it on the diagram precisely to scale. The vehicle exhibits on the 2D and 3D diagram precisely to scale illustrating precise door pillar positions for visibility, bumper profiles, etc.
|
|
Another time-saving feature of FX3 and SmartRoads is the context sensitive Properties dialog. Alowing users to change common properties of objects on the fly, such as lane width, line color/style, etc. Saving you time in the long run |
State of the art graphics technology is now available to you. Unlike other products that simply render line drawings to 3D views, FX3's 3D Engine places you in a life-like scene complete ith: Environmental Effects, Lighting Effects, Visibility Effects, and all of this with hairsplitting accuracy.
- Renders in RealTime
- Easy to navigate/explore the 3D environment
- Envionmental Effects
- Precise sun positioning
|
 The 3D engine allows you to quickly manipulate the environment where the crash took place including adding the presence of fog, dust, or rain. In addition to adding their presence, you can control the density/intensity of any environmental condition to show light fog or heavy rain.
|
 FX includes thousands of models to ensure you have the right model for your diagram. Visual Statement has included models for vehicles, boats, trains, airplanes, trees, weapons, furniture and much more.
|
|
The 3d navigation system allows for quick and easy manipulation of the scene with full range of motion cameras. It allows you to access multiple camera angles being able to switch between them with a click of a button, take snapshots, and contol the weather system without having to leave your 3D scene.
|
Integrated Interface
FX3 features a streamlined Windows-based interface that has been designed to 'look and feel' like other Windows applications. FX3 was specifically designed this way to provide familiarity for users and reduce the learning curve.
|
 Only FX3 emulates many Windows functions for right click menus, and many other functions making it really simple to understand and navigate the program. The Actions tab displays all available functions for the selected tool or object. Using a mousewheel mouse for navigation makes FX3 unparalleled in ease of use, no matter how large your scene is.
|
Autodesk users can export their diagrams in .dxf or .dwg format and import them directly to FX3 with full confidence.
A fully rendered scene with a complex animation is often less that 100KB thanks to our powerful compression system.
|
|
FX3 fully supports exporting diagrams into images. These exported images can be used in Word documents, Powerpoint presentations, RMS systems or just about any program that accepts images.? |
Take Measurements on the incident scene and insert them into the Measurement Log for 100% accurate diagrams of incident scenes.
Measurement points can be easily connected to using the drawing tools.
