Changes:

#4510: Camera Photo Panoramas are no longer generated in SOCS but in the Camera Coordinate
System that is identical to the SOCS but offset in height along the scanner's Z axis by the height of the
camera mounting. This change was made to take account for the parallax effect that occurs because the

via the "Export..." button. Tieobjects in PEF file format can be imported in RiPROCESS to be used for
Scan Data Adjustment.

#4414: Updated RiPANO to 3.5.1. The Copy-Readout tool was updated. The "RiPANO for MacOS" app is
now zipped and should not be extracted on Windows, because it might corrupt the app for MacOS.

of Scan Positions that are frozen.

 By checking the new switch Improve SOP matrices the AR 2 is allowed to further improve (move
and rotate) already registered Scan Positions (if not frozen) as one single block after each
additionally registered Scan Position (block adjustment).

 In Manual assistance mode Scans and Scan Positions are automatically made visible in the 3D
view.

 In Manual assistance mode Scan Positions are now placed "near" the last successfully registered
Scan Position in case that there are no GNSS measurements available.

its dependencies (e.g.: Geoid Model files) will be copied into a GSM sub folder in the RiSCAN PRO
project.

 When importing a scanner project (.PROJ) from a VZ-i Series scanner then the contained
GeoSysManager database and all its dependencies will be copied into the RiSCAN PRO project as
well.

#3056: RiSCAN PRO introduces a new method for "Find reflectors..." called Reflector Extraction (VZ-i
Series) that is based on new Reflector models to automatically estimate flat or cylindrical reflectors into

#3063: Added the "Display points with no or invalid point attribute value" switch to the "Select view type..."
dialog to configure if points with "no" or an "invalid" point attribute value should be shown or hidden in the
3D view. For example this can be used to show or hide points that do not have a temperature value
assigned.

left click the Scan in ScanPos197 to select only all Scans from ScanPos045 to ScanPos197.

#2917: The Wizard Download and convert now allows to configure the Scan Position naming when
appending a project to an existing RiSCAN PRO project.

"Convert scan" (rimta5.exe) to control whether GPU processing is used or not for "Convert scan".

#2794: Extended Multi Station Adjustment so that single parameters can be locked or unlocked for
multiple Scan Positions at once.

#2992: Added Image Theta and Phi to the Scan Position Image Data Readout.

Changes:

#2808: The former "Measurement uncertainty" is now stored as "Horizontal accuracy" and "Vertical
accuracy" with each Scan Position.

#2802: Objects added to a 3D view will get the same single color assigned as the Scan Position they are
contained in.

scans with 0 (zero) accuracy values.

#2918: Fixed an access violation that occurred during Automatic Registration 2 under certain conditions.

#3012: Fixed Video Compression for Animation Rendering. Animations can also be compressed in

MPEG-4, H.264/AVC after downloading and installing an appropriate codec pack. Some codecs require
to use common screen resolutions such as 1920 x 1080 pixels to function properly.
