IMPROVED: This update mostly contains bug fixes and improvements, and a few new capabilities.
NEW: Topics has now got their graphical representation - topic markers - in both Plan and 3D Windows. Topic type is reflected in an overlay icon, and topic status is reflected in a backdrop colour. Both of them are configurable, and you can turn all topic markers on and off.
NEW: External Data Sources > Design. This is a task type for connecting to external design applications running alongside Novapoint Base, based on selecting a task template for that application. For FP2 one application is using this task type: Tekla Civil.
NEW: External Data Sources > WMTS. Support for WMTS (Web Map Tile Services). Compared to WMS, WMTS typically has better performance.
IMPROVED: Priority in Calculation Base is added in Settings for both Road, Elevation, Railway, Terrain Shaping and Slope surface. In Settings in each tool, you can now use a collection task, and it will be expanded in the table.
NEW: Overlay color
Possibility to define overlaying semi transparent colours in the presentation rule (master colours on nodes) It is not supported on theme rules and textures.
NEW: Column for unit.
NEW: Option for grouping in Setting (task as first/last subgroup)
NEW: Hyperlink is added to feature name for 'instance style' to select the feature/link to feature explorer
IMPROVED: Better performance when displaying classification task
IMPROVED: In general the volume calculation handles more use cases, and with better accuracy.
IMPROVED: Performance of volume calculation is better
IMPROVED: Surface priority settings are included for both comparison and base surface
IMPROVED: Bug fixes.
NEW: New render handlers to handle alignment information;
NEW: New render handler to handle modelinformation connected to the alignment;
SurfaceCrossSlopeAndWidthInfo draws information perpendicular to the alignment for;
NEW: “Draw Road Model”-presentationsetup for plan drawings available in Novapoint Base.
The Presentation Setup is available under Discipline > Road >.
IMPROVED: When deleting an alignment object from the model it can still be retreived from the task if needed.
FIXED: Deleting helplines in vertical window could crash.
FIXED: “Get Fixed Points from Results” would fail.
FIXED: Upgrading road task could fail.
FIXED: Some upgraded road tasks were not possible to continue working in.
IMPROVED: Calculation speed is improved compared to previous versions of Novapoint 21.
FIXED: Advanced removal of soft soil did not work without use of inner fillslope. Could also crash in some cases.
IMPROVED: Reduced number of error codes for splitting surface in two or more surfaces (code 400028).
FIXED: 'End' on pavement layers was not transfered when upgrading from NP20 to NP21.
IMPROVED: The new pavement layers Base course 3 and Sub-base course 3 now inherits necessary information from the layers above so they do not all get values of 0.000.
FIXED: 'Illustration symbols'-function missed the illustration symbols.
FIXED: Roads in an S-curve had the quantities being read multiple times as the cross-section crossed the road multiple times. The quantities were then wrong.
REPLACED: 'Setting Out Data'-dialog that was removed from road task did not have an alternative. Export from Novapoint Base now is supporting topology.
IMPROVED: Conversion rules for export to IFC is updated with many of the attributes from Novapoint objects. Also added COMMON property for Color in the IFC-file.
Here shown from the IFC-file in BIMVision (from Road2IFC conversion file):
FIXED: Cases of slow draw out of alignment for serverprojects.
FIXED: Crash in some cases when drawing with slope symbols.
FIXED: Loading templatefile for *.ModelDwgCfg failed.
FIXED: Draw elevations were missing for the alignment.
FIXED: Mass hatches and legend is now back.
FIX: Edit symbol description: a bug which prevented you to select multiple tree symbols in order to edit plant name etc. is now fixed FIX: Plant bed: A bug which caused faulty generation av plant symbols inside the plant bed, is now fixed
FIX: A bug that caused the change-button not adjusting the attribute on selected lines, is now fixed
IMPROVEMENT: Illustration: Possibility to get elevation from Quadri model is added.
NEW: 3D-Drawing: It is now possible to draw rock support bolts in 3D. Note: This can lead to large models when the 3D-drawings are imported back into Quadri again.
CORRECTED: The 3D-Drawing functionality sometimes failed when using Civil 3D and Windows 7. This is now corrected.
This update contains long-awaited new functionality for Novapoint Road Sign. The “Save to Quadri” feature is significantly improved and now automatically stores a png-file of the sign face when storing data to the Quadri model. This means that the 3D view now automatically render a texturized version of the sign.
