If this is your first Virtual CRASH self-paced training course, take a few minutes to read over the Getting Started page. The Getting Started page includes details on grading, completion time, and the requirements to receive a certificate of completion. Successful completion of this course assumes an active and valid vCRASH software license.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course deals with creating scale diagrams and 3D environments from survey data Virtual CRASH. Although this course is ideal for new users of Virtual CRASH, even experienced users stand to benefit from many of the topics covered. Note, this course was developed in Virtual CRASH 6, but also applies to Virtual CRASH 3, Virtual CRASH 4, and Virtual CRASH 5.
