New Features

• Support of non-nadir planar images in the UAS Mapping extension.

Enhancements and Usability

• More than 9 planar cameras are allowed now in Mobile Mapping Run.
• Added new preferences for UAS Mapping and Mobile Mapping for better handling of different types of planar images.
• Enhancements linked to the non-nadir planar images support: highlighting all images having requested focus point in view, alternate between images having requested focus point in view, open next image which has the same viewing direction and so on.
• Support of mapservices.onemap.sg (basemap for Singapore).
• Support 3 mln code in *.otm configuraions for WMS resources.

• Publication CRS is now added (and set as default) in the list of available (measure) display CRSs.
• Support feet based CRSs as display and measure CRS in Publications.
• Opening best spherical images with “Move” function works correctly for the Publications with multiple Runs.
• Added 'Item Browser' for Annotations: move from annotation to the next one in 3D view and select it.
• Vector layers are displayed again in the reference view.
• Added 'View Depth' parameter for the vector overlays.
• The Flash Publication configurations are now linked to the HTML5 Viewer Settings:
  • Publication CRS is added to the list of display CRSs and used by default for measurements.
  • Vector Overlay: add vector overlays on top and respect the order.

• Orbit 3D Mapping Cloud
• Orbit 3D Mapping Viewer Plugins for ArcOnline (Widget) and ArcGIS Pro.

New Features

• New Slope Measurement extension.
• New Clearance Checker extension.
• Implemented Linear Referencing.
• Integrated automated detection and measurement of GCPs.
• Added new measure attribute to calculate the point cloud z range (max z - min z) at the center of the measurement.
• Added new point measure function: get center of a circle by 3 points.
• Added new distance measure function: measure fixed horizontal distance parallel to the reference line.
• Added new circle measure function: measure 3D circle with 3 points.

• Floorplan Builder extension is now available in Feature Extraction Basic.
• Added completeness check for Runs.
• Improved size calculation for Runs (upload size).

Enhancements and Usability

• Improved semi-automated rails extraction.
• Better organization of the parameters of the Detectors.
• Ground Control Points extension: focus on the GCP opens the closest image by time, not only by distance for multi-passes.
• Improved way of initial creation and handling of the Clipping box (Tools\Clip).
• Removed the restriction of having only one planar camera in UAS extension.

Bug fixes

• New templates with Source\Target CRSs couldn't be used in Delivery extension.
• Vertical shift was present when snapping ridge to the existing line.
• Copy to Feature of multiple detected cables saved only one feature.
