This version forms the balance between improving existing features and introducing new tools and extensions. The goal was to improve the navigation in the software and through the data, align the management of different mapping resources and update our supported formats.
Converting 2D data to 3D data, clustering objects, and stripping attributes are three new tools that help to manage data before passing it through to the users.
The integration of Microsoft Bing geocoding and base maps can be found in all 3DM Products.
The functionalities for mobile, aerial and oblique mapping are made conform for the extensions Blur & Erase, Consolidation and Post Collection Calibration. The catalog tab and extension have been simplified and display more detailed information.
Connecting to ContextShare and switching between projects has been improved. Via multi-threading, uploading your data to 3DM Cloud or ContextShare will go much faster.
The new extension 'Point Cloud Change detection' makes it possible to compare pointclouds over time and visualize the added or removed points.
Improvements on existing features: cable detection, pole attachments, trees, image annotation to objects and box measurements.
Add hyperlink to annotations, save annotations in publication, download snapshots via URL, download full images and pointcloud and set the image play-through quality are some of the new improvements that allow building a platform where data can be consulted.
A lot of effort was done to improve navigation using shortkeys and the possibility to lock the rotating point.
