On 17 July 2024 we released into production a new version of the PS+ software, this was an enhancement release affecting the 3D viewer and Project management interfaces.

On the project management side, we fixed the limitation where only 20 PDF/JPG Files could be added to each project. Additional pagination was added on this page to make it easier to manage your files.

In the 3D viewer, we have made enhancements to improve your user experience. A volume box selection tool was added to our crop/clip feature, this makes it easier to select the area you would like to focus in on while cropping. This cropped view can also be converted into a downloadable clip.

For Enterprise customers, we have added the ability to have a real-world background map layer shown behind the point cloud. Additionally, a mini map is also displayed to show the camera location and orientation to the viewer. Please contact our Support Team should you like to join the beta test group for this functionality.

More detailed information about this release is listed in the sections that follow. We look forward to hearing your feedback on our release and welcome your suggestions for features you want to see added to our system in the future.

• Security enhancement for 3D object conversion API – upgrade to OAuth 2.0.
• Volume Box selection for Cropping and Clipping has been added to the 3D Viewer.
• OpenStreetMap base layer added underneath point clouds.
• OpenStreetMap mini map added.

• The files tab in each project can now show more than 20 PDF/JPG files that have been added to the project, and pagination has been added to this screen to better improve usability.
• The bug preventing download of very large datasets has been fixed.
• When double clicking PLY object files in the layers tab on the viewer, the “zoom to extents” is now working correctly.
  

• If the Volume Box selection is rotated away from parallel with the X, Y, Z planes, when converted to a clip, the data downloaded will contain additional points as the bounding box of the rotated volume is used to specify the extents of the clip.

• When uploading LAS/LAZ 1.4 files, please ensure that they conform to the specification and that the relevant Coordinate Reference System information is embedded (as this is a mandatory field).
