- [Instructor] There are so many different types of diagrams
we can create with Visio,
and Visio has a number of templates to help us get started.
We're going to finish this chapter off
with one very interesting one
for diagramming a crime scene investigation.
Let's go up to the file tab,
click there and select new.
Next we'll click categories,
and scroll down to maps and floor plans.
That's where we'll find crime scene investigation.
Go ahead and select it.
And it looks like our only option
is to start with a blank slate.
Go ahead and select that and click create.
What really happens though,
is a page is created for us with a sample crime scene on it.
And over here in the shapes pane,
you can see all of the different stencils,
the standard indoor and outdoor building core, et cetera.
They all come with floor plans.
But the evidence stencil gives us access
to all kinds of things that we might see in a crime scene.
Let's zoom into what Visio provides for us
by clicking and dragging the slider to the right.
We'll get up around, say 54%.
That allows us to see in detail what we have.
A lot of indoor things like furniture and plants
and walls, et cetera, they're standard.
But some of the things we see that relate to a crime scene,
like an ax, for example, blood splatter, et cetera.
These are all part of our evidence stencil
over here on the left-hand side.
So let's say that a shell casing was found in that bedroom.
We could scroll up here and come over to shell casing
and click and drag it into position.
Now it's all going to be tied into our reference point.
You can see the dotted line going down
to the bottom left corner of our diagram,
which is our reference point.
So keep that in mind.
Let's say on the outside, something else was found here.
As we go to our evidence stencil and scroll down,
you can see different weapons, for example.
Let's say a little bit of blood was found,
a small blood pool out near the car.
And we'll scroll up
and add a shell casing there as well.
So something's going on.
You can see that each of these has data attached to it,
which can be edited so it can be very precise.
Let's go down to the bottom right corner,
near the bottom right,
and click the fit page to current window,
to zoom out and click in the background to de-select.
So, as you can see, there's a lot of options
for creating a crime scene investigation.
It's not an actual template that gives us a headstart,
but an actual diagram that we can work on.
And if there's anything we don't want, you know,
you can click to select,
hit your delete key to start removing things
and adding your own indoor outdoor spaces.
And then of course, with the evidence stencil,
adding those crime scene investigation type objects.
Very cool stuff you can create here in Visio.
