What's New Version 22.4

To be completed by the April 20th, 2022.

• Catalog Usability
  • All mapping resources (aerial/mobile/oblique) can be listed in one catalog table.
  • Sort on integer columns now uses the absolute integer value.
  • Right-click on a catalog resource directly opens the context menu. This avoids the extra click to select the resource.
  • The web-readiness check for point vector datasets checks if there is an Orbit Symbol Library (osl) file next to the vector file. If the osl file is not there and the user has write permissions, the correct osl file will be copied next to the vector file.
• Copy Osl File Next to Mapping Resource Photo Positions
  At opening a mapping resource, the Orbit Symbol Library (osl) file for photo position file is copied next to every locations.ovt file.
• List Pointcloud Classes in Datasetlist
  After writing an Orbit Point Cloud and import classification, the classes are written away in the ord file next to the opc. The classes are then listed in the dataset list and can be enabled/disabled. Existing opc files with classification will have to be re-optimized.
• New Pointcloud Format
  • The SLPK file can be rendered on Map GL and optimized into an orbit point cloud.
  • The PLY file can be optimized into an orbit point cloud.
  • The i3s file can be rendered on Map GL.
• New Mesh Format
  • The SLPK file can be rendered on Map GL and optimized into a web-ready scalable mesh.
