Novapoint 20.0x.FP2

If you use Quadri, this version can only be used with Quadri 2.0 or newer.

Models created with earlier versions of Novapoint, will be converted on opening in NP20.00 and can ONLY be used in NP20.00, and it will not be possible to open it with earlier versions of Novapoint after conversion.

Using Novapoint 20.05 with floating license (FLEXlm license manager) will require license manager 11.14 of FLEXlm. Make sure the license manager support this before you try to use Novapoint 20.05. If your network uses the IPv6 protocol (as used in Microsoft Direct Access), you should set the FNP_IP_PRIORITY environment variable on the client computer to give priority to IPv6, which can improve performance and avoid unwanted IPv4 address resolution.

Novapoint 20.00 and Novapoint 20.05 will both require license version 20.00.

Login using named user (Vianova ID) will work for both Novapoint 20.00 and Novapoint 20.05.

There are some issues using the USB hardware lock (FLEXid). Please contact us if you want to use Novapoint 20.05 with the USB lock.

 

Updates in Novapoint Base

General

NEW: Dynamic Query – Global attribute filter

Global attribute filter is added. Selection can now be filtered by the common attributes: feature name, Planned or Existing and Medium. If Tasks and/or Location is selected, the global filter filters within these results. When also selecting feature types or instances, these are added to selection.

IMPROVED: Task templates

When creating a task, it will use the latest used task template. Which template is used, is shown:

Go to Templates if you would like to change task template.

IMPROVED: Create task template

When creating a task template, now parent is by default not filled

NEW: N> Settings > Window

Possibility to enable/disable Level of Detail (LOD.) LOD is by default disabled. Enable LOD if you experience window performance issues in projects with large geographical areas and large TIN terrain surfaces.

IMPROVED: Home > Distance & Area

Snap is improved so that the feature snapped to is highlighted. Examples shown here how snap to the different geometries are seen.

Snap to line:

Snap to Surface:

IMPROVED: Default presentation/drawing rule (3D) is improved

View

FIXED: View >Plan presentation

Sometimes when a user defined presentation rule was saved to task, plan presentation could not be opened. This is now fixed.

Import/Export

NEW: Possibility to import files from Trimble Connect if you have a subscription

Select the files from your available Connect project you would like to import. You will need subscription to Trimble Connect to be able to store the file. See Trimble Connect for more information.

NEW: Possibility to export from Quadri model to Trimble Connect if you have a subscription

Select the features to export and which format to export to and select Connection. You will need subscription to Trimble Connect to be able to store the file. See Trimble Connect for more information.

IMPROVED: Export > DWG

Selection of plan task is improved, possibility to search for presentation task is added:

Also added possible to cut simple geometries (points, lines and polygon) with a selected boundary. Boundary must be a polygon or closed line. Only features in selected presentation within selected boundary will be drawn to DWG. Simple geometries crossing the boundary will be cut.

Modelling

NEW: Sweep - Autogenerate In Sweep > Settings it is now possible to set attributes in feature type to give specific sweep parameters.

NEW: Geometry control.

Read full reference guide for the function here.

IMPROVED: Terrain shaping

New guiding widgets. A tutorial that presents basic help regarding creating and editing.

What equidistance you have chosen is now showing in the equdistance symbol.

Option M in elevation line makes you choose line objects in the model. Click the start and end point you want to use from the line.

CORRECTED: Export: Attachments to the Ground Investigation objects are now included in the export files to Geosuite project for all situations.

 

Updates in Novapoint Road

NEW: If it is regeistered an error in the cross-section calculation (Error or Serious Error) or on the conversion rules (error code -108) there is now restrictions in saving the results to Quadri and to do the mass calculations. This is possible to override with a check box in Novapoint Base.

General

CHANGED: Text on buttons for “Select Calculation Basis” and “Select Illustration Objects” is shortened to minimize the use of space in the Road Ribbons in Novapoint Base.

IMPROVED: Assessing when the road task should build or not when pressing OK.

REMOVED: Possibility to extract mass report on parts of the road stretch since it did not give the correct results in start and/or end chainages. We therefore recommend rebuilding the roadmodel in the sections that the mass calculation is wanted.

CORRECTED: Crash when extracting Setting Out Data for Windows 10.

CORRECTED: Import from IND with special norwegian characters in filepath.

Alignment Design

NEW: Now possible to store multiple vertical geometries as helplines directly from an active verticalgeometry. This supplements todays option to store helplines from lines/polylines.

CORRECTED: Shortening a horizontal geometry could affect the vertical geometry.

CORRECTED: Arctype “Long” or “Short” was wrong in some instances when using “Pick Angular Point”.

CORRECTED: Propose segments could feil when there was a Line-Line combination in the geometry.

CORRECTED/IMPROVED: In some cases the reservations of alignments was not done correctly in server projects. There is now an extra check on this and an error message is given if needed.

CORRECTED: Crash in some special cases.

CORRECTED: Copy and Offset gave alignments with wrong radius.

Crossfall and Widening calculations

CORRECTED: Broken shoulder could give wrong calculation results.

CORRECTED: Criterias to give error message about “Radius less then minimum” is changed. (Norwegian standards)

Relocate Chainage

CORRECTED: Did not move stationing for Landscaping and Deep Blasting.

CORRECTED: Using the function gave a new row in the description for defining where the different templates are valid.

Road model Descriptions

NEW: Possible to set if the road surface boundaries are used for Bridge, Tunnel or Retaining Wall.

IMPROVED: In cases where the user has added a double “Break” in the roadmodel description right after one-another, one is removed to clean up the description.

CORRECTED: Rehabilitation fuction gave some wrong results when the existing lines crossed surfaces for designed as curbstones.

CHANGED/REMOVED: Check box to “Always store results” in the road models Settings > Elements is removed and moved to the Road Ribbons in Novapoint Base. This increases visibility and accessibility for the function in combination with the storing restrictions imposed on errors in the cross-sections.

Sight Distance Analysis

CORRECTED: All sight lines was red because of errors in the Rules for Result.

Drawing to CAD

IMPROVED: Better fitting for the preview of selection for the longitudinal profile based on actual build road section and requested frame size.

CORRECTED: Crossfall was not always drawn to Longitudinal Profiles with very dense calculation intervals.

CORRECTED: Longitudinal Profile with a blue terrain line and layername “unknown material”. The line was also not cut when usin Split Longitudinal Profile.

CORRECTED: Updating cross-sections did not cut the terrain and sub-surface layers correctly.

CORRECTED: Stop/crash in drawing cross-sections where the external models was clipped.

NEW/IMPROVED/CORRECTED: Function for “Draw Cross-section Elevation” in Draw Road Model has a new functionality and is generally improved to replace the current separate function for Draw Cross-secton Elevation by being able to draw elevations along reference alignment and has Block-support. Drawing with ByLayer color and color set on the layer is now correct.
