What's New Version 21.7

To be completed this week.

• Import & Process Run
  • Use link.ini file in the original folder of the pointcloud to redirect to the original files cfr. link.ini for imagery.
• Calculate Orientation Heading and Tilt from Photo Positions
  By adding the parameter 'template.pan_tilt.calculate' followed by the camera name, a new step in the import/edit run procedure is added to calculate the OrbitOrientationPan and OrbitOrientatienTilt for every photo position. This calculation uses the location of the next and previous photo positions.
• Import Multiple e57 Files as Photo Positions
  Instead of having to select one e57 file to import photo positions, multiple e57 files can be selected/detected.
• Datasetlist
  • Open local dataset will open Browse button from the Library.
  • Open run will collapse all mapping procedures to ope/add/import mapping resource.
  • Open theme will open the Manage Themes procedure (when available).
  • Apply 'Set All Visible' and 'Set All Invisible' to mapping resource datasets.
• Open Image by Searching on Photo ID
  The search field at the top can be used to search the photoID of mapping run imagery. The image that corresponds to the search result will be opened. Select the type of mapping run via the dropdownlist.
• Mapping Extension for Alternative Images
  There are three new mapping extensions to display the alternative images of every mapping type. They can be opened via the extensions or in the mapping tabs via the button to open the corresponding extension.
• Annotations Improvements
  • Drag and drop o3a file to add annotations to the workspace.
  • The action buttons are re-organized to improve usability.
  • Add label to every annotation. The appearance can be changed by the text appearance that has been added to every annotation.
• Optimize and Convert Pointcloud
  • Import Pointcloud Classification
  • RGB Color by Current Legend or Classification
    This option is only enabled when the source file is an OPC.
  • Convert OPC to POD when target CRS has units in meters.
  • Disable the options when the process has started.
• Open Convert Tool at Export Pointcloud Selection
  
• Split Dataset by Attribute
  The tool to split datasets has an extra option to split by one specific attribute. For every value, a new vector file is created.

• Display Message at Disk Space Error
  If there is not enough disk space during optimize imagery, an error message will appear.

• The selection

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

• Catalog
  • Add Reference Resources at Drag & Drop
    After drag & drop of reference resource in the datasetlist, the resource is automatically added to the catalog.
  • Progress Bar for Review Data for 3DM Viewer & Web Readiness
    When reviewing the data for the 3DM Viewer, a progress bar appears in the search field (cfr. Review Image Availability)
  • Set Storage Unit (Metric or Binary)
    Because of a mismatch between the size in PWCS ContextShare and the ContextShare tab, a new startup preference has been added to define the storage unit: Metric (1000) or Binary (1024).

• Import & Process Run
  The import & process run procedure has been added and can be triggered via drag&drop of the mapping run.

• Simplified UX

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

• Clash Detection 2.0
  • Cluster
  • Contour lines
  • Scripting

The 3DM Viewer includes all 3DM Core improvements.

• Download Snapshot after Loading All Resouces
  Downloading snapshots via URL didn't wait until all resources were loaded. This resulted in incomplete snapshots. The column of the first 100 pixels also wasn't downloaded correctly.
• Download Snapshot of Reference View via Publication URL
  The snapshot of the reference view can be downloaded via the URL by adding '?snapshot=true&view=reference' to the publication URL.
• Open Photo via PhotoID in Publication URL
  The mapping resource name and photoID can be added to the publication URL to define the opened photos. The other views are closed and the photos from the URL are opened. Add '?resource=<value>&photoID=<value1>,<value2>'.

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

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