Quadri 2022
General
NEW: User interface has a new “look and feel”, with all icons in ribbon menus, explorer, conversion rule editor, presentation rules editor etc. now replaced by new ones. Example of one of the menus:
NEW: Quadri Community help pages. Find it under Help in the backstage, or hover mouse over functions in ribbon to access
NEW: Support for Trimble Geodetic Library (TGL). TGL is a set of software libraries commonly used across Trimble to transform geodetic coordinates (latitude, longitude, height) into plane coordinates and elevation (north, east, elevation), as well as to perform time-dependent datum transformations as and other geodetic computations
NEW: Setting which units to use when creating a new single-user model
NEW: Setting in Options where user can set if model open with presentations or not
NEW: Support for 4K screen resolution
NEW: FeatureCatalog based on the official Object Type Library v1.0 (Flemish Road Administration)
ENHANCEMENT: New explorer design. Possibility to user-define which columns are shown by right/clicking the column header.
ENHANCEMENT: Standard Windows browse dialog when creating model and inserting orthophoto
ENHANCEMENT: Tasks are stored in a new way
ENHANCEMENT: Support “paste column” from Excel in Property Set Editor
FIXED: Doesn't remember CRS' hiding in options
FIXED: Add new generic property to genericPropertyList overwrites last property
FIXED: Bug when classification has a “/” in the name
FIXED: Task GUID already deleted from server → cannot share again
FIXED: Modified task property is not saved (in task execution) in classifications
FIXED: General bug fixes
Home
ENHANCEMENT: Classification: Added parameters Measure and Unit in order to get specific quantity types in Table presentation and for the benefit of setting quantity type in PayItem for the Quadri Connector for Quest.
Import
NEW: Support for GeoTIFF format
NEW: Support for GeoJson format
ENHANCEMENT: IFC: IfcAssembly and file structure
ENHANCEMENT: DGN: New version of Open Design Library vers 22.3
ENHANCEMENT: DGN: Enhanced merging when importing in settings
ENHANCEMENT: DGN: Select which model in the DGN to import (a DGN can have several models). Also select the level of references that you want to bring in, as default is no references (because possibility to have circular references in DGN)
ENHANCEMENT: DWG: Performance to finish the import
ENHANCEMENT: DWG: Add warning in process info if blocks are detected, so user can decide if explode
ENHANCEMENT: Quadri G4: No-feature model
ENHANCEMENT: SOSI: Better process info message when importing multiple SOSI files with different version or CRS (Norwegian)
FIXED: Crash when importing file that already has same local identifier. Now user instead get an error message, informing about which tasks this affects
FIXED: DWG: When the block is exploded, the block's attributes are not read
FIXED: DWG: Store as point cloud not working from BLOCK
FIXED: DWG: Store as point cloud not working
FIXED: CSV: Crash when clicking the Settings button
FIXED: LandXML: Activate switch X/Y when importing
FIXED: General bug fixes, DGN, DWG, IFC, LandXML
Conversion Rule Editor
NEW: The possibility to include or exclude import/export of attributes with specific values, set by the user. In example below “0” is excluded, as these might be irrelevant to import/export
NEW: Batch import of attributes to generic attributes
NEW: Sorting columns require user to first save
NEW: Possibility to select “domain-task” as source for output
ENHANCEMENT: Support RegExp for sub-attributes
ENHANCEMENT: Allow for user-defined ID instead of 0, 1, 2 etc in classification
FIXED: Automatic Fix expression flags. Sometimes when using RegExp, they were not recognized, and the user had to edit the conversion rule again and mark them as RegExp.
FIXED: Check for duplicates
FIXED: Inactive cell in AttributeView
FIXED: In mapping in Conversion Rule Editor, changing between capital and small letters, it “reset” this, and changing back.
Conversion Rules
NEW: Conversion rule for export all attributes for IFC - “Export to IFC model with all attributes”
NEW: Added conversion rule for SOSI 8.1 (Norway only)
ENHANCEMENT: “Road 2 IFC” conversion rule. Added some more rules from the road results that were missing, like LowestConstructionWorkSurface, SubgradeSurface, and ConstructionPitSurface/Edge
Modelling
ENHANCEMENT: Better performance and bug fixes to TIN calculations
ENHANCEMENT: Volumes: Support input as polygon-surface
FIXED: Volumes: Fail to produce volumes
FIXED: Volumes: Missing some volume-parts by selecting Outer Boundaries
Novapoint (exclusively in Quadri for Windows for Novapoint users)
ENHANCEMENT: Elevation from surface: Set priority between TIN surfaces (lowest, highest, best quality)
Connectors
NEW: Quadri Connector for Quest
Send pay item and quantity information to the Trimble tool, Quest for cost estimating, and review in a table presentation inside Quadri for Windows. Learn more about this connector.
ENHANCEMENT: Quadri Connector for SketchUp
The tasks' engine is totally new, compared to 2020 version. Editing existing SketchUp-task will launch the old tool (hidden in Ribbon, but engine still exist for user to edit, but not for creating new task)
Able to save the task as template (in order to re-use result conversion rule)
SketchUp web version is back (still be TID3, TID4 without login is coming soon)
The .skp is saved together with the task, re-edit the model will get exactly the same as saved last time.
'Modifiable Data' removed (will be replaced with new tool 'Feature Texturing by SketchUp', 2022.Q1)
Support creating .skp in US units
Adding Toolbar in SketchUp as Ruby extension, which can detect the correct version of SketchUp for Quadri to work with
Temporary model and Preview result with full support of conversion rule (editing conversion rule before submit the result to Quadri)
Able to send model to Quadri for previewing geometry without need to save/close SketchUp
Send to Quadri button in SketchUp, to send the final model to Quadri and close SketchUp

Presentations
NEW: Save Viewpoint. When you have an active plan or 3D presentation task, you can save multiple viewpoints from these. This is useful for remembering the location of the camera in the presentation.
NEW: CutFill Heatmap render handler for better presentations of surfaces
ENHANCEMENT: Preventing Sky/Horizon animation in 3D presentation to go into night time
ENHANCEMENT: Table presentation: Attributes subgroup in Feature-Detailed shown more as Properties
ENHANCEMENT: Table presentation: Support present data from PropertySet in report
ENHANCEMENT: Table presentation: Add faster quantity calculation
ENHANCEMENT: Table presentation: Extended option setting to select quantity type
ENHANCEMENT: Table presentation: Support better performance by using Computed-Quantities in case of Interval
ENHANCEMENT: Table presentation: Support reporting by interval in columns base
FIXED: Sections: When selecting Baseline in both cross and long sections, and the line starts at a higher chainage than 0, it stills inputs 0.
FIXED: Sections: Negative start chainage
FIXED: General bug fixes
Output
NEW: Publish FBX - a format used to exchange 3D geometry and animation data. Used by external software for high-end visualization.
NEW: Publish DWG: Using attributes to create the CAD layers. In the example below, the added attribute is Feature Name, meaning that the CAD layer for the selected point will be “TerrainPoint 21”. Users can create CAD layers based on all feature types and attributes.
NEW: Publish DWG: Setting for excluding features that do not belong to any classification tasks
NEW: IFC: Apply multiple classification delimiters
NEW: IFC: Option to use map conversion in IFC 4, where you can move all objects nearest zero coordinate and transform
