Trimble Quadri Help
This update is also included in Novapoint 2026.1.
NEW: Release of Quadri Feature Catalogue 1.39:
-New and updated Features and Properties related to xxx.
ENHANCEMENT: General improvements on crash reports to give more info.
FIXED: General bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENT: Complex chain support in DGN import.
ENHANCEMENT: New option for DGN import level handling, level selection can now be saved by name.
ENHANCEMENT: Reference File: Added settings for assigning global coordinates
FIXED: Geodata WMTS causes black terrain/image background (NOR config)
FIXED: When importing DBS, the import logic treat a Selection Set file the same as the full Project file.
FIXED: Volume Tool - Start Date not set for new features.
NEW: New action "Add value by geometry calculation" for calculation of geometry values.
ENHANCEMENT: The action "Create Child Object" now supports both Name of Value and Value for generic properties
ENHANCEMENT: Miscellaneous improvements in the conversion rule editor user interface, including a new dialog for doublet control setup.
FIXED: Re-order doesn't save when using the OK button.
NEW: Properties for Spatial Entities, modeled as tasks in Quadri, are now supported with the use of Trimble Connect Property Sets.
This new functionality is described here:

NEW: Release of IFC 4.3 Feature Catalogue, ver. 4.40:
Reorganized property sets for the IFC-schema attributes
Removed extra name attribute for material and classification entities
NEW: Colors on surfaces, including surface patches, and boundaries are now imported and shown in models based on IFC 4.3 FC. These color properties are exposed in the Property View and included in the exported IFC-files when using standard conversion-files.
Some IFC-files must be re-imported to activate this functionality. Use the standard presentation rule "ColorFromGeometry" to view the colors.
NEW: The Sub Surface tool is now working for models based on the IFC 4.3 feature catalogue.
ENHANCEMENT: The default geometry representation is now IfcClosedShell and not IfcFixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid for IFC 4 and IFC 4.3 export.
ENHANCEMENT: The geometry correction option on the Geometry Representation page in the IFC Export Settings dialog is now available also for IFC 2X3.
ENHANCEMENT: The system now automatically calculates and exports the base geometry quantities by selecting the quantity takeoff TRMB_QUADRI_Qto_BaseQuantities on the Property Set page in the IFC Export Settings dialog.
ENHANCEMENT: For IFC 4.3 Import/Export: The global insertion point is now marked in already opened 3D- and plan-views and for the preview.
ENHANCEMENT: For IFC 4.3 Import - IFC Reader Settings dialog - Assign Global Coordinates page: You can now read the True North from the file by clicking the button Read value from the IFC-file.
FIXED: Now all the associations between the different IFC-entities representing alignment and cant are set up correctly when importing a Quadri model based on a regular Quadri feature catalogue into a Quadri model based on the IFC 4.3 feature catalogue.
FIXED: Several bugs in the clipping and segmentation functionality when exporting IFC-files are corrected.
FIXED: Local placement of the IfcSite is now supported also for objects associated through strong relations as IfcRelAggregates for IfcElementAssembly e.g..
FIXED: An error when exporting classification with standard IFC4.3 export conversion rule is corrected.
FIXED: IFC 4.3 Export: The extension option on the Location page in the Dynamic Query dialog for selecting the objects to export.
FIXED: Errors when using IfcMapConversion with scaling factors for models in imperial coordinate systems.
FIXED: For Novapoint Design result conversion rules: When the same material is used for several objects, no more duplicate materials are created when building road-, railway- or water and sewer models.
NEW: Added new function "Fillsink Info" - displays the volume and depth of Fillsink Basins
NEW: Analyzes a Road Model and calculates how water will impact a proposed solution, including tools to identify potential areas exposed to flooding. One can also input Virtual Objects - e.g. culverts and analyze if it has the desired effect.
NEW: Both the Terrain Tool and the Design Tool supports calculations of Peak Runoffs from Watersheds using the Rational Method. The underlying information, like runoff coefficients, rainfall intensity etc., is setup using this tool.
ENHANCEMENT: Improved standard presentation rules for IFC 4.3 feature catalogues.
ENHANCEMENT: Support for TGA format (.tga) when publishing to Trimble Connect, ie when using TGA bilboards in Quadri - they will now also be visible in Trimble Connect.
ENHANCEMENT: Support for LandXML Inframodel 4.2 (FIN config).
ENHANCEMENT: Added conversion rules for LandXML exports (FIN config).
ENHANCEMENT: Enable to export attributes with pre/postfix in Inframodel (FIN config).
ENHANCEMENT: The conversion rule option "Auto-Convert Property Set for IFC Export" is now switched on for all standard IFC conversion rules for models based on Quadri feature catalogue.
ENHANCEMENT: The conversion rule options "Auto-Convert Property Set for IFC Export / IFC Import" are now accessible also for custom object type catalogues.
FIXED: Inframodel 3/4.0.x vertical CircCurve as positive and negative values (FIN config).
FIXED: Automatically join multiple surfaces with the same name into one LandXml surface when exporting to LandXML.
FIXED: Resizing settings dialog when exporting EsriShape to don't fill the whole screen.
FIXED: Batch export fails when the export target is a local file path.
FIXED: For IFC-export some settings values were not remembered when re-running the export task.
FIXED: When exporting IFC-files from a model based on a regular Quadri feature type catalogue; some bugs in the in the IFC Export Settings - Spatial Breakdown setup are corrected.
