Versions 1.2
Disclaimer: The preview version contains new features and bug fixes. Documentation and support are not available. We recommend testing the preview version before using it for production work.
1.2.0
What's new:
- TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) generation. Creation of a TIN using terrain layers and grid of points.
- Terrain layer, a new vector layer concept that contains objects that will be used as part of the TIN.
- The size and color of the points in the grid of points can be adjusted.
- The size of points in each point cloud can be individually adjusted.
- Color changes apply instantly.
Bug fixes and improvements:
- Fixed issue with .bpc files creation for projects with long names.
- The last folder path is selected as the default project folder.
- Support for projects with left-handed coordinate systems.
Versions 1.1
1.1.1
What's new:
- New tool: Rectangle point selection and point deletion.
- Increased Grid of points processing speed.
- Zoom to selection.
- User actions disabled during processing.
- Improved color of the Grid of points and Terrain filter results.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed bug with long Windows paths.
- Fixed INSUNITS units in the exported .dxf file.
- Fixed irregular spacing of Grid of points at edges.
- Fixed Grid of points crash when using large point clouds.
- Fixed layer name validator.
- Fixed proxy authentication issue.
- Fixed coordinate system display for never classified points.
- Fixed vectorization unavailability for never classified points.
Known issues:
- Left-handed coordinate systems are not supported. Left-handed coordinate systems have the horizontal axes defined in the order Northing-Easting, instead of Easting-Northing. E.g. SWEREF99 TM (EPSG 3006), JGD2011 / Japan Plane Rectangular series (EPSG 6669 and following). We recommend to not work with such coordinate systems and use their UTM equivalents instead. Fixed in 1.2.0.
Versions 1.0

1.0.7
What's new
- Grid of points. Create and export with custom spacing on the original or classified point cloud.
- Change layer color, save a custom color, persist colors across projects.
Bug fixes
- Working directory typo.
- Fixed point size settings.
Known issues
- Left-handed coordinate systems are not supported. Left-handed coordinate systems have the horizontal axes defined in the order Northing-Easting, instead of Easting-Northing. E.g. SWEREF99 TM (EPSG 3006), JGD2011 / Japan Plane Rectangular series (EPSG 6669 and following). We recommend to not work with such coordinate systems and use their UTM equivalents instead.
- If PIX4Dsurvey 1.0.6 is installed, it needs to be manually uninstalled to install PIX4Dsurvey 1.0.7 on Windows.
- Very large point clouds may crash the software when using the Terrain filter process. Fixed in 1.1.0.
- If all point clouds are hidden, the Terrain filter process is disabled, although the Input point cloud parameter is set to All. Fixed in 1.1.0.
- Some proxies that need authentication with username/password might not work. Fixed in 1.1.0.
- Coordinates are not displayed for the Never classified points. Fixed in 1.1.0.
1.0.6
What's new
- Terrain classification. Automatic point classification to terrain/non-terrain points.
- PIX4Dmatic compatibility. PIX4Dmatic projects can be imported in PIX4Dsurvey.
- Export vectorized objects in Shapefile format (.shp or .zip).
- Proxy settings, necessary for local network protected by proxies.
- Coordinate system update to GDAL 3.
Bug fixes
- Various bug fixes.
