What's New Version 21.10

• Display Basemaps in Map 3D (GL)
  The basemap is now also displayed in Map 3D (GL).
• New Tool 'Create Grid'
  This tool will use the extent of the source dataset to create a grid vector dataset that can be defined by cell size or number of cells. The empty cells can be removed by enabling the corresponding checkbox.
• New Vector Source Format 'Odb'
  Odb vector files can be directly converted and optimized into another vector format.
• New Dataset Properties 'Metadata'
  The metadata fields can be entered for both reference resources and mapping resources. The metadata properties are automatically filled in after uploading to 3DM Cloud and 3DM Publisher. The mapping resource procedure 'Metadata' redirects to this dataset property.
• Vector Dataset Structure Management
  • Filter Formula List in Vector Dataset Structure
    The dropdown list of formulas attributes now has an entry field where the list can be filtered on a specific word.
  • Update Attribute Datatype Correspond to Attribute Formula
    When setting the attribute rule to a formula, the datatype will automatically change to the datatype that corresponds with the formula. The datatype is fixed and cannot be changed to avoid conflict with measure/detection results.
• Autofill Collection Date Start and Stop
  Resources that have absolute GPS time can use the Autofill button to automatically fill in the collection data start and stop, using the min and max timestamp of the resource.
• Procedure to Reprocess Envelope and Trajectory Simplified
  The procedure to reprocess the envelope has been extended with the option to reprocess the trajectory simplified. The envelope will now use both the extent of the photo positions and pointcloud to calculate the envelope area.
• Update Delete Missing Panoramas/Planars
  
  • Original Cubic Image Faces are Wrongly Identified
    The face part of cubic images are not identified anymore to be removed.
  • Misleading Radio-Buttons are Removed
• Geocode by Linear Reference Dataset
  Line vector dataset (ovf or ovt) in the ..\program\system\linear_reference folder can be used in the upper search field to focus to a distance along the line dataset. The attribute ID or Name can be used to specify the object to search along. If one of these attributes is not available, the first object in the dataset will be used.
• Improved W3sm Conversion
  • Updated CC
  • Display Name
    At converting/optimizing an Obj into Web Ready 3D Scalable Mesh, the name of the Obj file is now set as the display name of the Web Ready 3D Scalable Mesh.
  • Double spaces in the .mtl file are supported.

• Use Shift to select multiple tasks in the task manager.
• UX Improvements
  • Tooltips on the convert/optimize icons indicate which kind of data will be converted/optimized.

• The image annotations didn't update when multiple views were opened and synchronize views was enabled.
• The panoramic image viewer didn't follow the chose zoom direction.
• Selecting/unselecting the model from a multimodel dataset didn't work as expected.
• The 2D tool 'Select Objects Within Fence' selected the wrong objects by using the full spatial extent of the objects.
• Mesh resource were not saved in a workspace.

The 3DM Content Manager includes all 3DM Core improvements.

• Removed Resource Groups from List of Cloud Resources
  The list of Cloud resources to update or download no longer includes the resource groups as these cannot be downloaded or updated. This only works on individual resources.

• Removed Resource Groups from List of Cloud Resources
  The list of Cloud resources to update or download no longer includes the resource groups as these cannot be downloaded or updated. This only works on individual resources.
• Prepare Web Ready 3D Scalable Mesh for 3DM Viewer
  The web ready 3D scalable mesh can now be made ready to upload to 3DM Cloud, PWCS ContextShare or 3DM Publisher.
• Modify Vector Dataset Legend Classification
  As the 3DM Viewer now supports legend classification, the corresponding legend tab has also been enabled.
• Removed Obsolete Detector Preferences
  

The 3DM Feature Extraction includes all 3DM Core improvements.

• Improved Image Annotation to Objects
  • Image Annotation to Object via Task Manager
    The image annotation to object job can be send to the task manager.
  • Image Annotation to Object via Batch File
    The image annotation to object job can be run via a batch file in the bin_tools folder of the installation.
  • Run Image Annotation to Object on failed conversions from the not_converted text file.
• Improved Verify Asset Inventory Workflow
  • The three buttons 'Accept', 'Reject' and 'To Review' make it possible to quickly update the verification attributes. To Review will clear the status attribute.
  • All opened image views are synchronized and focusing to the asset inventory object.
  • Navigate to a specific asset inventory object by entering the object ID. This removes the step of having to click multiple times to a specific object.
• Advanced Parameters are Change to All Parameters
  The window of advanced parameters has ben renamed to all parameters and will also display all parameters. The sidebar parameters are used as quick and often used parameters.
• Display Parallel Extraction Tab at Start-up
  The parallel extraction tab was not displayed at start-up of the application. Map 3D had to be initialized before.

The 3DM Viewer includes all 3DM Core improvements.

• Linear Reference Dataset
• Support of 3D Web Ready Scalable Mesh
  The 3D web ready scalable mesh can be uploaded to the cloud and publisher to display in the 3DM Viewer.
• Clickable Mapping Resource Photo Positions
  The photo positions have been made clickable on the reference view and in the 3D views. The opened view with the corresponding view mode will move to that position. If no view is open with the corresponding view mode, a new view will be added to the workspace.
• Manage Navigation Gestures
  The new viewer settings item 'Navigation' can be used to define the navigation gestures for the left, middle and right mouse click. The possible actions are pan, rotate, zoom and zoom (continuous). The preset configurations will set the gestures to the corresponding application: google, OpenCitiesPlanner, Orbit and Itwin.
• Display Image Resource Name
  The new Image Views setting 'Display resource name' will add the resource name of the opened image to the view.
• Display Child Name of Resource Group in View Metadata
  In the image view metadata, the resource group name and resource child name are both displayed.
• Ignore Invalid Geocoding Bounding Box
  When the geocoding engine sends an invalid bounding box (for example, having two equal coordinates), the current zoom level on the reference view is retained. The returned geocoding coordinate is still used as a focus coordinate. This was also patched to version 21.7.
• Update Publication Enabled after Adding/Deleting Annotations
  After adding or deleting annotations, the publication can be saved.
• New Play-through Quality and Speed Options
  
• Hover Appearance for Measure Settings
  The 3D hover appearance can be set via the measurement settings.
• Viewer Catalog Improvements
  • Manage Columns in Viewer Catalog
    Columns can be added and removed in the Viewer Catalog to enable filtering on specific attribute values. For example, searching on all resources with a specific collection date.
  • Display Options Depending on Available Resources
    Depending on which resources are added to the console (resources, basemaps, terrains or linear reference resources), the displayed viewer catalog options will change.
• Close Viewer Pop-Up by Hitting ESC
  Any viewer pop-up (settings, catalog, metadata…) can be closed by hitting the keyboard ESC.

• The loading message at opening a new photo has been simplified to one loading spinner without any text or background.

• The resource group pointcloud legend was not saved in a publication.
• The view action menu to download a pointcloud was not visible in the slice view.
• The view action menu to download a pointcloud was not working when the workspace only had pointcloud resources.
• When the number of measurements was more than 50, they could not be properly displayed. This has been resolved by integrating a table where every page has maximum 10 measurements listed.

The 3DM Viewer SDK includes all 3DM Viewer improvements.

The 3DM Publisher includes the 3DM core and 3DM Viewer improvements.

• Add Spatial Type Metadata to Vector Resources

The 3DM Cloud includes the 3DM core and 3DM Viewer improvements.

• New Spatial Type Metadata for Vector Resources
