New features

VisionMagelaan and VisionBIM
Two new licences are available for the software, that give access to different functionalities. VisionMgelaan is a VisionLidar version that contains functions from Magelaan and is destined to Viamétris customers, while VisionBIM is a of VisionLidar for BIM modeling. Ref.:LID-790

Adaptative disk
The cursor can now be replaced with an adaptive disk that reorient itself from the surface its currently overlaying. To activate it, the left or right "shift" must be pressed. Its radius can be adjusted in the settings. Ref.:LID-847 and 848

Building modeling
IFC files can now be imported in the building modeling continue its construction. Only the objects recognized by VisionLidar will be imported. Ref.:LID-855

When importing an IFC file, if groups of objects exist, they will also be imported and linked to their corresponding objects.Ref.: LID-856

Each horizontal cut of a building can now be exported as a ReCap project so that the expert modeler can take advantage of them in AutoCAD or Revit. Ref.: LID-844

Spherical image - Export trajectories
From now on, the position and orientation of images can be exported in a txt file format, allowing to backup a trajectorie before making any changes, to bring it in another project or compare two different epochs. Ref.: LID-837

Spherical image - Create an alignment
Alignments can now be created from the position of every images in the spherical image interface. Ref.: LID-841

Spherical image - Navigation
A new group of functions allows the user to switch automatically from images to images with a set delay. Ref.: LID-849

Spherical image - Show points
Even when the images have no transparency, the point cloud can now be displayed on overlay, this option activate and disactivate itself in the navigation section. Ref.: LID-854

Spherical image - Transparency
Transparency of images is now optional, to enhance navigation performances. Ref.: LID-837

Updates of existing functions

Export to VisionLidar 365
All named classes are now available in their VisionLidar 365 projects, so that they can be activated and deactivated properly. Ref.: LID-853

Metadata and image of projects are now correctly exported when no projection is selected. Ref.: LID-870

Faro imports
Updates on Faro imports functions were made, allowing to support the latest Faro scene files.  Ref.: LID-857

Measures
When measures are unchecked, adding new measurements is easier, the active measure being highlighted in yellow. Ref.: LID-822

Save project as...
The name of the new project now accepts the "-" character, as project creation do. Ref.: LID-799

Registration by list of points
The registration by list of points can now be done on the whole project, not just one scan at the time. When the option "All" is checked, every scan will be translated and rotated with the same center, allowing an easier georeferencing.   Ref.: LID-681

Reindexing and deleted points
The deleted points are still considered as deleted after reindexation of the point cloud. Ref.: LID-869

Adding and deleting scans
Algorithms to add and delete scans were revisited to ensure a better stability of the project. Ref.: LID-871 and LID-872

Spherical images - Image selection
When the images information is visible after pressing the "..." button, their selection is now more user-friendly. Ref.: LID-841

New features

Automatic drawing with VisionCivil
When VisionCivil is opened on your CAD, the points and chains will automatically be draw when picked in VisionLidar. Ref.: LID-801

Object detection
A new function allows to detect, in the point cloud, a loaded model to find every similar objects within a certain accuracy. Ref.: LID-702

ReCap files 
VisionLidar projects can now be created from .rcp files. The option is available in File → New → Quick Project, Project and Project in Batch. Ref.: LID-805

VisionLidar point clouds can now be exported in .rcp files and works like other exports. Which means that only the visible points of the projects will be exported. Ref.: LID-800

Coordinate conversion

At project creation, the coordinate system of point clouds can now be changed by specifying its projection, selecting the option and specifying the desired projection for the project. Ref:. LID-770

When adding a new scan, by indicating the EPSG code of its projection, VisionLidar will automatically convert them to the project projection. Ref.: LID-791

BIM
A new BIM menu has been implemented which containt "Building modeling", "Surface by sections" and "IFC (BIM)" functions. Ref.: LID-806

A new building modeling function was added, allowing to create buildings with a BIM point of view (storeys, walls, slabs, openings, columns...) straight on the point cloud and generating an IFC file afterward.  Ref.: LID-794, LID-808, LID-814, LID-815

In the "IFC (BIM)" function, the clusters categories were added to better filter them. Ref.: LID-796

Measurement kit
The kit interface has completely been reworked to allow changing the types of each measurement to show on the point cloud. Ref.: LID-766

Inserted objects
It is now possible to add objects in the point cloud. The supported objects types are OpenSceneGraph (.osg & .osgb), Wavefront Technologies(.obj) et Polygon File Format (.ply). They can be inserted via the explorer under the "Object" tab. Ref.: LID-784

Clipping box

A new tool allowing better point cloud management has been implemented. The clipping box create a box to isolate points of the point cloud. It is mutually exclusive with the fence function, only one of the tools can be active at any time. Ref.: LID-784

Project creation 
Projects can now be created in batch, all files with the desired extensions in the specified folder will generate independent projects. Ref.: LID-781

The new "Quick project" function allows to create a project with the default parameters in the settings and open it afterward. The standard project creation is still available but lunch a project creation routine out of VisionLidar, allowing o continue working with VIsionLidar's current project while the creation process occurs. Ref.: LID-819

Updates of existing functions

Simplification
With the simplification function, the extension does not double anymore when it was specified in the project's name. Ref.: LID-809

Opening on double-click VLP
Upon double-clicking on a vlp file in Windows, the project now open normally when VisionLidar starts. Ref.: LID-821

Intensity value in decimal
When creating a project or importing a point cloud, if the intensity is set in a float value between 0 and 1, it will correctly be scale to fit VisionLidar intensity values. Ref.: LID-827

Exports
When exporting to VisionLidar365, the software now automatically produce a thumbnail image for the point cloud. Ref.: LID-762

Each exports type file has now its own interface so that its specific parameters can be changed independently. Ref.: LID-740

Re-indexation
The tiles parameters are now kept on re-indexation to reproduce the same tile dimensions. Ref.:LID-793

Adding point clouds
It's now possible to import point clouds of more then 2 gigabytes on an existing project. Ref.: LID-803

Faro imports
Importing FLS files with large coordinates (like in UTM) now correctly keep all its precision. Ref.: LID-807

If FLS files contains images, they are now created in VisionLidar project as .png spherical images. Ref.: LID-810

If the FLS file contains spherical coordinates, the project is now normally created. Ref.: LID-686

Updates on Faro imports functions were made, allowing to support the latest Faro scanners files.  Ref.: LID-813

E57 imports
E57 files containing spherical coordinates are now treated on project creation. Ref.: LID-827

E57 files containing spherical images with all the same name are now correctly imported and automatically renamed with an increment. Ref.: LID-771

Objects
The instability causing the loss of the objects list have been fixed. It's no longer necessary to rename the .bak file to get the list back. Ref.: LID-812

Clusters
When classifying points in a cluster, if class 0 is selected, the classification now works accordingly. Ref.: LID-760

The algorithm allowing to draw and erase clusters has been reworked to enhance its performances. Ref.: LID-617

About
The interface was redrawn to ease up the licences use. Ref.: LID-755
