What's new version 21.1

• Create Odb to Existing Database Table
  The new wizard 'New Vector Database Resource Connection' connects to an existing database table and creates the corresponding odb file.
• Preset Configuration for New Database Resource
  Creating a new database resource has the option to select a preset configuration like for creating a new vector file resource.
• Removed Dim Indicator for Unaffected Resources
  The dim indicator is removed for unaffected resources in the dataset list: Point cloud and Mesh.
• Default Merged Procedures
  The procedures are grouped per mapping type for all desktop products. Feature Extraction has two extra procedures Asset Admin and Asset Inventory.
• Import Photo Positions for Imagery with Exif Headers
  Via the procedure, the exif headers of imagery can be read and used to import as photo positions in a mapping run. The omr file should contain the parameter template.exif.import, followed by the camera with exif headers.
• Clickable Paths at Import and Edit Procedure
  The path where data needs to be copied to for images/mesh is clickable. Browsing to the path is easier this way.
• Modify Ground Height via Map Canvas
  The ground height is visualized in the view widget next to the map canvas coordinate system. Clicking on the ground height opens a window to manually modify the ground height.
• Set Ground Height at Hovering over Point Cloud
  The ground height could be set on any location in the map canvas. This is now only possible when hovering over the point cloud.
• Save Attribute Changes at Export CC Insight XML
  Exporting the CC Insight XML now includes the attribute changes made for the imported ovf.
• Drag and Drop Source Directory for Convert and Optimize Tool
  The source directory can be added to the convert and optimize tool via drag and drop from the file explorer.
• Avoid Orphan Blocks for Fragmented Point Clouds
  AANVULLEN
• The Pod Format is Supported
  Pod files can be converted/optimized to Orbit Point Clouds.
• Uppercase File Extensions for Convert Point Cloud
  The format for converting a point cloud was fully written. They are replaced by their uppercase file extensions.
• Fill in Standard Attribute Formula at Copy to Feature
  The standard attribute formulas weren't filled in at copy to feature.
• 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.
• Set Predefined Target CRS Based on a Specific Source CRS
  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.

• All checkboxes are now selectable by clicking on the labels.
• Deselect buttons in toolbar stayed selected.

• Rename Map GL to Map GL (3D).
• The Object Inspector tab wasn't opened at startup.
• The layout for the wizards to create new resources is equalized so that the steps are alike.
• Opening the scale component didn't open the window in the center of Orbit desktop.
• The block names for the Shape Creator and Mask Creator are aligned with each other.

• Panning wasn't possible at the action 'Move a point'
• Action 'Set as Ground Height' opened the last-opened sidebar.
• The spatial type and spatial corodinate model of a resource weren't displayed correctly.
• The formulate attributes weren't included in the ord file next when creating a new database vector resource.

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

• Catalog Improvements
  • New Refresh button in the top right corner triggers the 'Refresh Catalog'action that was available in the context menu of the catalog.
  • Progress bar appears in the search field when calculating the image availability of a mapping run.
  • Minimum and Maximum timestamp values are shown in the catalog extension for point cloud reference resources.
  • Individual resources from a mapping run cannot be added to the catalog.
  • Number of panorama and planar directories are displayed for every mapping run. A tooltip appears when hovering over the numbers.
  • Incorrect planar directories were also taken into account for calculating the data volume and image availability. The planar folders are now hard coded planer1, 2, 3,…,10.
  • Search on tags in the catalog resources. The catalog needs to be refreshed before searching on newly added tags is possible.
  • Improvements on calculating the data volume with point cloud files in the original pointcloud folder.
• Open Catalog in Map 3D (GL)
  The catalog extension can also be opened when in Map 3D (GL).
• ContextShare Upload Sidebar
  AANVULLEN
• Mask Creator Improvements
  • The mask transparency is set to 50% when drawing the mask to show the covered parts of the image.
  • New option to enter a target file for the created mask.
  • New option to create a mask for every camera.
  • New ini-file next to mask where the resolution and the color of the mask is written away.
• Optimize Imagery divided by Camera
  There are new steps in the optimize imagery procedure where the imagery for every camera can be optimized individually. The resolution and mask can be set for every camera. The dropdown list of masks is created based on the resolution of the mask and the imagery. The color is set automatically.
• Colorize Point Cloud Improvements
  • The number of photo positions that are used to colorize the point cloud can be set in the procedures. The default value is 10 photo positions.
  • An error message with the corrupt image appears when the colorizing of the point cloud can't be executed.
  • The dropdown list of masks is created based on the resolution of the mask and the imagery. The color is set automatically.
• Scripting License from Local AppData
  The license20.X.ini file isn't necessary for the Content Manager installation to use scripts. The license file from the local AppData is being used.
