Release note April-June 2024 volume1.

2024/4/3
We are pleased to announce the release of the Smart Construction Dashboard periodic update with the following dates and details. 

No	Type	Function	Description
1	New Feature	Data layer	Colors can now be set for each registered as-built data, making it easier to keep track of project progress. Please see below for detail
2	Bug fix	Data layer	When a linework design file was clamped to the base map, it would remain visible on the map even after it was disabled. This has been corrected so that it can be correctly hidden.
3	Bug fix	Data layer	Annotations could not be created from design data by selecting lines or surfaces in the design data. This has been corrected so that annotations can be created from the design data correctly.

*The Cumulative as-built feature that was mentioned in the release notes prior to the revision has been removed because it is a prior release for the Japanese market. We will provide further information.

No.	content	function	Description
1	New function	Measurement	Gradient settings to be applied to the measurement heatmap now allow you to prepare presets and share them with project members. Attention Threshold values that can be set arbitrarily are limited to the minimum and maximum ranges within the topographic data calculated by the measurement, and values beyond those ranges cannot be set. We plan to release a new version of the software soon so that you can set them freely. Example Calculation result: Embankment max 1.88m Excavation max -2.35m Threshold values cannot be set above Embankment 1.88m and Excavation Max -2.35m.
2	Others	Data layer	The following changes have been made to the way design files are displayed. When a project is displayed for the first time, only the target design data is initially displayed, and the design data can be selected at the user's discretion. This will reduce the time required to display the topography when the application is launched. The initial display will be hidden except for the design data set as the target data. The display information set arbitrarily will be displayed according to the settings from the second time onward.
3	Others	Data layer	When data registration failed, users could not download the files that could not be registered. This time, we have corrected the problem so that users can download files that failed to register.
4	Bug fixes	Data layer	When creating 3D cross sections, design files under a group could not be selected. This has been corrected so that the files can be selected correctly.
5	Bug fixes	Measurement	When hovering the mouse cursor over an As-built with individual color settings, different colors were sometimes incorrectly displayed. Corrected to display correctly.

Details of release items

1. Gradient settings to be applied to the measurement heatmap now allow you to prepare presets and share them with project members.

Abstract

• Presets of heat map gradients can now be created for each type of measurement and shared by project members.
• By creating presets, user can efficiently check the progress when they want to share settings among project members, or when they want to do multiple measurements.

How to use

Steps to set up presets for legends

1. From "Annotations and Measurements," select the toggle button (▼) for each measurement.
2. Select the Edit button in the upper right corner of the legend (*see figure below)
3. Set the legend color settings and press "Add Preset" to save the preset.

Steps to apply presets

1. Go to each measurement from the "Measurements and annotations" tab
2. Select the toggle button (▼) for each measurement and press the "Preset" button
3. Presets will be applied.

Supported measurement

• Cut and fill - Most recent > Design

• Cut and fill

• Reference volume

• Smart volume

2. Change of initial display of design files when user open a project

Abstract

• The following changes have been made to the initial display of design files.

  - When users open a project for the first time, only the target design file is displayed.
  - Other files can be set to display by the user. The selected design files will be displayed according to the user's selections from the second time onward.

No.	content	function	Description
1	New feature	Data layers	For the display of as built on the 3D map, (1) the normal display color and (2) the highlight display color can now be set together as desired. This makes it easier to check the scope and progress of construction. (*The function released on 3 April was a function to change the display color for (2) highlighting in as built. In that case, the user had to select an individual as built in Data layers and then set the highlight color for it. In this update, the individual setting screens have been eliminated and a button has been installed for setting directly from Data layers). FYI: 3 April release
2	New feature	Support	We have placed links to the “Submit a request” and Action Guide in the header bar. Customers can now easily access product information.
3	Bug fixes	Data layer	When downloading sublayers contained in a design file as LandXML, the wrong sublayer was sometimes downloaded. This has been fixed and now downloads correctly.
4	Bug fixes	Data layer	When registering a design file that contains multiple sublayers, the parent design itself can be set as the target design. Fixed so that only sublayers can be registered as the target design.

 

1. For the display of as built on the 3D map, it is now possible to set the normal and highlighted display colours as desired

Abstract

• There are two types of display colors for as built in Smart Construction Dashboard: (1) the normal display color and (2) the highlight display color. This time, improvements have been made to both (1) and (2).
• (1) the normal display color: Previously, the display color on the 3D map was specified according to the type of as built (manual import, automatic linkage from ICT construction equipment, automatic linkage from 3DMG). With this modification, users can now set the display color for each type as they wish.

• (2) the highlight display color: the highlight color on the 3D map when the mouse hovers over the relevant as-built item on the data layer or timeline can now also be set as desired.

  • *The function released on 3 April was a function to change the display color for (2) highlighting in as built. In that case, the user had to select an individual as built in Data layers and then set the highlight color for it. In this update, the individual setting screens have been eliminated and a button has been installed for setting directly from the data layer
    FYI: 3 April release

UI changes for this release

(1) the normal display color

*New in 5.3 release.

(2) the highlight display color

<before>

Select individual as built from the data layer and then set the highlight colour.

<after>

How to use

1. In Data layers, click on the 'Color setting' button (*new) to the right of 'As built'.
   
2. The menu below is displayed, click on the color edit button for the color you want to change, and change the color.
   
3. To finish editing, click the ✗ button in the top right corner.
