CHANGELOG - Reconstructor 4.4

 

Reconstructor 4.4 is out now!

The full changelog is the following:

Added

• added the "Project data purge" command to remove unused data inside the project folder.
• added option to remove only groups or groups and contained items when deleting groups from the project view
• added the option to create UCS from two points and a fixed vertical in the UCS creator window.
• when exporting models in native formats, added the option to export them in current UCS coordinates. 
• added the command compute 3D reflectance color layer in the Cloud coloring toolbox and Photo & Color contextual menu. 
• added a button for computing the histogram in the Inspection dialogue. 
• added importing annotations from a CSV file with the fields: annotation name; X,Y,Z; comment; hyperlink.
• added functions to remove big triangles and trim mesh borders in the mesh editor.
• added support for different rotation ordering conventions in the Euler angles dialogue.
• added a generic export command for 3DUserNetVISION to export either point clouds (LAS format) or meshes (OBJ format).
• [HERON add-on] added a tool in the HERON Survey Editor to convert the currently selected frame of a streaming camera to a standalone single-shot camera
• [HERON add-on] added hide-back facing points option to 3D panorama exporter. 

Changed

• restored export E57 data in column-major order, since it is the most commonly used memory layout.
• changed the way in which spherical and cylindrical cameras are drawn in 3D scenes, making the consistent with orthographic and perspective cameras.
• changed the "UCS coordinates" option behaviour in the adjust pose window so that applying a rotation to the selected item will rotate it around UCS centre coordinates.
•  improved the responsiveness of the Quick Profile and Tunnel Survey tools when loading existing surveys associated with several models.
• upgraded the LAS exporter using the latest format version 1.4.
•  improved the appearance of the point list import dialogue, making it more obvious that the preview is limited to five lines.
• improved the layout of the camera calibration dialogue to better adapt to screens of different sizes.
• updated 3D mesh algorithm: mesh generation is now faster and does not require the writing of temporary data to disk.
• updated Chinese language translation.
•  improved the Point List Row Format dialogue supporting also the simplest case of text files containing the fields: x,y,z.
•  improved update 3D scene and the point cloud color list when computing a new color layer from the color map commands.
• moved "Color with Ambient light", "Add color layer from image" and "Merge and split color layer" commands from the Color Mapping dialogue to the Cloud Coloring toolbox and Photo & Color contextual menu.
• improved the project item drag and drop functionality, providing better visual feedback on whether an item can be dropped into a particular group within the project.
• reduced approximation error when computing volume from the plane of a mesh delimited with a polyline.
•  [HERON add-on] overhauled the Prepare reference map tool with improved user experience and new functionalities to automatically annotate trajectory points when generating from a HERON point cloud.
• [HERON add-on] reduced the minimum voxel size when importing HERON data to 1mm.
•  [HERON add-on] updated instruction texts to 3DUserNetVISION and OrbitGT exporters.
•  [HERON add-on] exported the current rendered point cloud's color layer in HERON third-party exporters.
•  [HERON add-on] split statistical outliers (SOR), outliers and hide black points steps from sensor noise attenuation filter, in HERON data enhancements import.

• fixed a bug in the out-of-range field of the PDF report of the inspection.
• fixed compatibility with systems that use a non-English locale or that have a customized decimal or thousands separator in the Windows regional settings.
• fixed some issues when using non-metric units of measurement.
• fixed the formatting of several warning messages that had lost their yellow background.
