What's New Version 20.6

Return to the What's New Overview

Highlights June 2020

Minimal impact comes together with optimal usability having 5 quick-access settings available in the 3DM viewer. It allows the user to find easily the most commonly preferred/used settings without having to open the full settings panel. And parallel the administrator has the opportunity to select 5 settings per publication without having to allow the user to access the full settings panel.

Improved filter options in the Console, combined with expanded logging and improved usabilities when creating new entities like resources and publications make the work of the administrator much easier and efficient.

Go check out the new landing page of Orbit 3DM Cloud. All documentation nicely combined, in line with all Orbit products, and easy to use.

3DM Viewer

New Features

  • Configure up to 5 quick-access settings
    Choose the most commonly used or preferred settings to have easy access from the left-hand sidebar menu. This option allows you to optimize your workflow with a minimum impact. Per publication 5 settings can be selected.
  • Set the photo search distance
    Reducing the maximum distance avoids opening far away images. The before hard coded distance becomes available as a slider in the Viewing Settings panel.

Enhancements & Usabilities

  • Time filter is stored in the workspace
    The chosen timeframe per view when the option Timeline is enabled, is now stored in the publication, bookmark, project and personal Viewer (3DM Cloud).
  • Reset password from guest user login panel
    Easy access via a link to reset your user credentials.
  • Black halo outline around the resource footprint label improves the readability of the Resource name on the Reference View.
  • Oblique views were not focusing to the publication x,y URL start-up parameters. The oblique views were only focusing correctly when the z coordinate was also specified in the URL start-up coordinates.

Bug fixes

  • When using the Timeline functionality, time filters were no longer applied when adding a new view.
  • The quality image resolution was not loaded when stopping the image play-through function.
    During the image play-through, a low-resolution image frame is loaded for optimized performance. When stopping the play function the low-resolution image was not updated.

    Was patched for version 20.5.
