4.2.0-prerelease1

• static screen-shot service that can be found in the config tab
• coordinate systems are inferred automatically mostly to distinguish between elipsoid (Mars, Earth) and Euclidean (None, JPL) / Rover Frame Systems

4.0.3

• fixed arcball problems on osx
• disabled automatic loading of recently used (project) files (once a broken file was loaded one could not escape anymore). We will provide a new implementation of recent projects.
• mac and windows version are now fully aligned except some usability issues

The mac version is still in beta-phase and has some issues. Here we provide workarounds for the moment:

• gesture based zoom (two/one fingers up or down) does not work on mac mice. As a workaround for zooming we recommend right-click + drag up/down to zoom in FreeFly and ArcBall. Another option is to use another three-button-scroll-wheel mouse. Another option is to enable secondary click in mouse settings in system preferences.
• Currently the main window is somewhat detached, does not appear in the dock and has no menu bar. We are working on this to improve and align with mac ui policies.
• The features "Show surface in explorer" when right-clicking a surface in the tree-view does not work on osx.

4.1.0-prerelease2

This is a pre-release. We point out that this release is identified as non-production ready.

• fixed broken priority rendering
• using methods as described in Quinn, D. P., & Ehlmann, B. L. (2019). A PCA‐based framework for determining remotely sensed geological surface orientations and their statistical quality. Earth and Space Science, 6(8), 1378-1408.
  • using new method for plane fitting
  • added angular error measures
  • added versioned serialization and deserialzation
  • added export of dip and strike annotations as json for attitude integration (annotions>export>attitude planes (*.json))
• fixed "flyto animation does not reach destination" issue
• fixed issue with obj annotation when using flipZ #98

4.0.0

4.0.0

contains features and fixes from all prereleases since 3.3.1

features

• Scalebar integration #10
• Import and Visualization of "SceneObjects" #13
• Geologic Surface Creation #19
• Mastcam-Z Improvements #53
• Adjust Focal Length #54
• Flip Z direction for surfaces and scene objects
• Improved annotations performance #60
• new color correction UI + ordering of operations #52
• annotation picking
  • added picking tolerance in meters for annotation picking to viewconfig to address picking problems at orbital scale.
  • this tolerance does not affect the accuracy of the line picking itself
  • it rather affects performance: having a large tolerance for small scale scenes may result in unnecessary intersections tests
  • picking tolerance is serialized with view config (now version 2), older versions will be intialized with 0.01m
  • numeric control for picking tolerance directly next to interaction dropdown with text "eps.:"
  • removed unnecessary surface intersection computation when trying to pick annotations
  • added pixel-based real-time highlighting when PickAnnotation is active
• annotation properties
  • added properties tab to docking GUI
  • currently only shows annotation properties when an annotation is selected
  • this will not show in already existing scenes. to reset the docking GUI and make properties visible press F8 and save your scene afterwards.
• geoJson export
  • added geoJSON export via menu > annotations > export xyz (*.json)
  • added geoJSON export via menu > annotations > export (*.json)
  • data is exported as geometryCollection of geometry objects with 3D coordinates (lon, lat, alt) computed via SPICE
• coordinate prints
  • added print location / coordinate for point annotation
  • added print location / coordinate for bookmark location
  • added long lat alt prints via cootrafo
• mac support PRo3D.Viewer-4.0.0-beta (preliminary, testing only)

fixes

• fixed screen space scaling of annotation spheres
• changed lod metric to omit aggressive culling
• added missing c libs on windows
• updated CooTrafo build to release - should fix missing ucrtbase
• fixed crash with goto animation and arc ball controller
• fixed UNC aardium problem
• current directory now set to main entry point location #63, #62
• aardium path fix
• Update navigationMode and exploreCenter in SaveScene and LoadScene
• Import obj
• LatLonAlt output sequence changed
• isSurfaceFolder is always false for objs (in Surfaces) so the red exclamation icon in the little surface menu is shown
• fixed picking issues
• tried to fix color picker history #56
• fixed dns colors
• performance improvements for dns annotations
• fixed multiselect
• fixed duplication bug when moving multiple annotations via "select all" in a group mechanic
• "select all" only selects all leaves in a group not including the leaves of sub groups
• fixed problem with picking points on surface
