 + 
 +A lot of new features and improvements raise the Orbit 3DM products to the next level, ready to challenge 2021 requirements and expectations for managing, extracting features, and web sharing of reality data resources. 
 + 
 +The recorded What's New presentation can be watched on-demand [[https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=reg20.jsp&partnerref=Email&sap-outbound-id=B9349A506606EE31D0290B179451B4CD4E94C9D9&utm_source=SAPHybris&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SEND_TEST&campaign_name=SEND_TEST&utm_term=ORBIT_21.1_WBNR_OR_GL_21_01___Register+Now___90660&utm_content=EN&eventid=2956477&sessionid=1&key=976E6A49267447196002504E8122C09D&regTag=1966729&V2=false&ext_event_user_cd=B9349A506606EE31D0290B179451B4CD4E94C9D9&sourcepage=register|here]]. 
 + 
 +=== Orbit 3DM Content Manager ===  
 + 
 +Automated data imports, newly supported formats, workflows to directly import image Exif headers and E57 resources, advanced insights on your point cloud, and mapping resources are just some of the new features added to the 3DM Content Manager. \\ 
 +The product is becoming inevitable to manage your large-scale mapping programs. 
 + 
 +=== Orbit 3DM Feature Extraction === 
 + 
 +Newly developed database connections, measurements to get poles and its utility attachments & metadata properly stored, workflows to review and update your tree inventory database, and procedures to visualize your AI-detected features empower the Feature Extraction products. 
 + 
 +=== Orbit 3DM Publisher, Cloud, Viewer, and Plugins === 
 + 
 +A lot of effort was done to improve the user experience, facilitate access to vector data objects, customize the display of reality resource footprints, and increase the performance to manage and stream extremely large projects. 
 + 
 +The Publisher backend can be configured to log all activity and a new 3DM Viewer plugin has been developed for Bentley's iTwin platform.

-  * Remove Dim Indicator for Unaffected Resources (pointcloud + mesh) +  * Add Tags to Resources \\ Via the Inspect Dataset Properties of a resource, tags can be added to a resource. When adding the resource to the 3DM Publisher or uploading to the 3DM Cloud, the tags are automatically added to the resource. General tags can be managed via the Tags Preference.  
-  * Exif information as source for Import positions and images+  * Set Predefined Target CRS Based on a Specific Source CRS \\ In the text file source_target.ini in the program\system\crs folder of the installation, the predefined target CRS for a specific source CRS can be set. There should be two columns where the first column is the source CRS and the second column is the target CRS.
