February - Release 1

*Features marked with asterisks will be available after upgrade to the most recent Point Cloud Manager on CONNECT service. To upgrade your service, please contact your CONNECT Administrator or AVEVA representative.

This section includes new features and resolved issues that were covered in both Viewer and Administration as part of the 24.4.0 on CONNECT release.

New features and enhancements (Viewer)

• QR camera controls: QR scanner now supports cycling through device's cameras. This is useful when using a tablet device as both front and rear facing device cameras.

• Video support for mark-up: Markups can now support video file attachments from within the Viewer project. The file formats supported are .mp4 and .mov. This means capturing video and upload are supported direct from tablet.

• Scan export: Scan export now contains more information in this release for columns:

  • Dataset Name

  • Scanner type

  • Scan date

Resolved issues (Viewer)

• Case - N/A - (Defect - 3520599) - Measurement failure: Fixed an issue which saw measurements being turned off when moving from orbit mode to 3D Context Viewer, and in some cases, measurements would not resolve.

New features and enhancements (Administration)

• Project Management tab*: Improved the way projects work within Point Cloud Manager Administration. Within Project Management Admin, you can now create sub folders, and create and move Point Cloud Manager projects throughout the folder structure.

• Project Archive*: You can move projects that no longer require access through Viewer to archive storage. Archive storage is a cost effective way to retain projects when access is not required. You can restore projects from the archive up to 4 times within a rolling 12-month period.

• New EU regions: Added Point Cloud Manager support in three data regions across Europe. These are EU-West, EU-Central, and UK. This gives administrators the option of hosting Point Cloud Manager across different data centers to optimize the experience for users accessing projects.

• Volume Clipping: Dataset generation now supports clipping between min and max values for a volume. This option is a part of the dataset generation menu found through the Scan Management tab.

• ZFS Upload: You can now directly upload ZFS and their respective "_Colour.jpg" files to CONNECT to take advantage of the greater performance of generation on CONNECT. We will continue to expand the file formats supported in later releases.

Resolved issues (Administration)

• Case - N/A - (Defect - 3582639) - Scan conversion: Improved the scan conversion process. Fixed an issue where scans uploaded but failed to convert, showing as "Not Started."

• Case - N/A - (Defect - 3622047) - E57 Import: Fixed an issue where some e57 imports would incorrectly show as conversion complete when not all of the contained scans had completed. This issue has been resolved for E57 containing multiple scans.
