Three UK police forces have now changed to RelMo as their plan drawing software and more are expected to follow shortly.  The new Layout Manager allows 2D plans to be created and plotted with ease.

Avon and Somerset were the first to make the change followed by Dorset and Norfolk.

RelMo 5.4 is now available as a download from this site.

This release adds still more tools.  The codes properties dialog has been enhanced so that code descriptions are more visible.  New tools to move and rotate objects are provided allowing users to snap and rotate by points.  Also when changing complex line styles, any changes to the style are automatically reflected in the main survey.

The download utility has also been upgraded to support the FastMAP format.

The demo version of RelMo is also changed to accommodate these changes. 

Download the latest version from here.

RelMo 5.3 is now available as a download from this site.

This release adds more tools to the Layout Manager.  Alignment and grouping tools are now available to assist in your presentations.

We have also taken this opportunity to upgrade the demo version of RelMo.  This is also now version 5.3 and contains all the features of the full version of RelMo, but won't print anything.

Download the latest version from here.

The long awaited RelMo User Manual is now available for Version 5.  You can download a PDF version of the manual from here.  (2.8Mb Right click and select 'Save Target As' to copy the document to your computer.)

If you would prefer a hard copy, this is supplied as part of the AiTS training course or is available as a separate item.  Please contact us for further details.

We've decided to release an interim version far earlier than usual.  Although only a month since the release of version 5, users have specifically requested a number of new features.

RelMo 5.2 now has the ability to use three point codes during surveying.  These are based on the existing two point codes, but with the ability to define the width of the code by using a third surveyed point.  This means, for example, that you could create a complex line style of a vehicle and set its properties so that it is a three point style.  During surveying you would simply survey the front nearside, rear nearside and anywhere along the offside to generate the three survey points.  As RelMo imports the survey file, the car will automatically be generated so that it stretches to fit between the front and rear survey points and also so that it stretches to the width defined by the third point.

Example codes, using the new 2 and 3 point definitions will be posted to this site shortly.

The Download Utility has been upgraded so that it now downloads and converts survey files from Sokkia instruments.  Both SDR33 and SDR20 format are included.  The Download Utility will automatically recognise which format is in use.

We've also taken the opportunity to fix a couple of minor bugs that crept into the version 5 release.

You can download the latest version now.

RelMo version 5 was released today, 1st October 2003.  Version 5 represents a giant leap forward in a number of different respects. 

The plan drawing features in particular are greatly improved, with support now for multiple printed pages all at different scales, sizes, layouts and even different printers if required.  For example you might choose to have your main page on an A1 sheet, but keep an A4 version for a brief overview.  Also supported are multiple plots on the same page, as well as the facility to embed 3D views and external objects on the printed page.

New CAD tools and analysis tools are also included in this release.

For a more in-depth summary of the features in this release, please read the Version 5 summary.

Also available with this release is a demonstration version which may be downloaded from this site.  With a few minor exceptions, this version is functionally identical to the full version.

Existing users will receive the new version over the next few weeks.  If you have not received your copy by the end of October 2003, please contact Jane Bond at our Birdlip office.

RelMo 4.8 was released in June 2003 as part of the latest release of the Collision Suite Package.  This includes many of the features planned for Version 5, as well as updating the other collision suite components.

As part of this release we changed the security system, from our older software protection system to a new and more flexible hardware key system.  For

Version 5 should be released later this year and will include an all new method of printing scale plans.

Watch this space for additional news as development progresses.

RelMo version 5 is planned for release in the 3rd quarter of 2003.  An interim version may be made available before this time so that users can take advantage of the new features.

Development is progressing well and on schedule.  New features include additional analysis tools, such as visibility plots and slope graphs, enhanced text display tools, and a new scale plan plotting engine.

3D views have been speeded up considerably in both RelMo Design and in the RelMo3 viewer by redesigning the routines used to render individual objects onto screen.  We have found a 2 - 4 times increase in frame per second time dependent upon what features are being used.

These features are already in beta test with selected users and feedback so far is very positive. 

Watch this space for additional news as development progresses.

The release date of the new Version 4 of RelMo was 20th September 2002. 

Existing users should have received their copy of the latest CD by the end of September.  If you have not received your copy, please contact Jane Bond at our Birdlip office.

Version 4 contains a large number of enhancements and additional features including complex point and line styles and a very useful control bar.  3D editing capabilities are greatly extended and several new CAD tools are now included as standard such as the ability to draw circles and rectangles, extrude shapes from a line or series of points and to spin new 3D objects from a profile.

For a more complete list of changes please take a look at the version 4 page.

During September / October 2002 we shall be implementing a new look and feel to the RelMo web site.  This will include features to enhance your use of RelMo including useful downloads, frequently asked questions and a facility to report bugs or suggest additional features.  

Several changes are planned and these will be introduced incrementally.  Watch this space for further announcements.

Please contact Jon Neades with any suggestions regarding the web site.
