• Possible to create centre and side lines from created meshes when importing from IFC files (*.ifc).
• Possible to choose layers for created meshes and lines when importing IFC objects (*.ifc).
• Added support for more IFC classes when creating meshes (*.ifc).

News in Topocad 21.0.2.651 (2021-03-25)

CAD
• Fix: Save as 20.0 did not work.
Survey
• Fix: Improved import of Topcon data (*.mxl)
• Fix: Surveys could change order when reducing face measurments.
Net adjustment
• Fix: Sets of angles could not be manually set to 0.
• Fix: Updated calculation of sets of angles when checking multiple measured heights/lengths.
Calculated sections
• Fix: Program could crasch when selecting new section if section lacked profile height.
Import/export
• Fix: Attribute values containing quotation marks were not imported correctly from MapInfo (*.mif).
• Fix: Grouped lines were parsed incorrectly when importing from Shape (*.shp).
• Filter function in Las-import updated to support Las 1.4.

News in Topocad 21.0.1.650 (2021-03-02)

General
• Multiple reports can be selected for printing.
CAD
• New functions for text styles which can be set on text objects (font, color, justify, background, min and max zoom etc).
• New dimension style for slopes.
• Slope can now be used as an height input when drawing polylines.
• Solid objects can be transformed.
• Updated legend command.
Import/Export
• New option in IFC-import (*.ifc).
DTM
• Support for transparent terrain models.
Point cloud
• Support for external references in point cloud view.
• Support for transparent point clouds.
• Import of LAS/LAZ 1.4.
Net adjustment
• Headers and reports updated to conform to GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement).
• Thresholds updated to conform to HMK2020.
• More detailed reports, including coordinate system and interval for individual K-values.
• Support for external references (drawings and images) in Graphics view.
• Double click on point or observation in Graphics view will switch to respective table.
• Points and observations are highlighted and tooltip is displayed when mouse is hovered over them.
• Deactivated measurements remain but are colored grey and can still be edited by clicking on them.
• Double clicking in a row in the result tab will switch to corresponding row in observation tab.
• First point of each station is drawn with bold font.
• New column with sets of angles (imported from survey file). This makes it possible to calculate correct mean error regardless of number of sets.
• Length and height differences which are calculated as average values now have their mean errors updated.
• Possible to save calculated coordinates in any file. Previous versions only saved to project PP file.
• Unknown coordinate system method can determine if scale difference is statistically reliable, and make a reliable calculation of scale factor.
• There are now two versions of Free adjustment method: “Actual lengths” and “Projected lengths”. The former uses real lengths and gives a net with no constraints and with real scales while the latter gives a net with no constraints in the scale of the choosen projection.
• Free adjustment is more flexible and no longer needs known points in order to calculate a net.
• Standardized residuals (sigma levels) can be calculated in four ways:
– Compared to the expected uncertainity of the measurement.
– Compared to the calculated uncertainity of the measurement.
– Pope´s test, which is useful when analyzing nets where the standard uncertainity of unit weight is far from 1.
– Custom test level, where weigths are calculated as usual from the instrument specification, but where the test level determines the standardized residuals.
• Thresholds are shown for all survey types when checking connection errors in graphics tab.
• Test of known points has more options and can determine if scale difference is significant without using external transformation functions.
• Standardized residuals (sigma) and individual controllability in the result tab are drawn red if they lay outside the tolerance.
Survey
• Face measurement reduction now sorts surveys and shows number of measurements in each set.
• Updated face measurement reduction report which now includes face difference and number of measurements.
• Flexible choice of back object when calculating weighted average value of orientation i nfree stations.
ESPA
• Option to stop drawing from following movements in ESPA City.
