Hi Felix,

Thanks for that but that is the one easily found on the Bentley website...

There's no way of knowing if its the latest until after you download it.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris ,
That is generally the only way to get a trial copy of our software. We are in process of updating this version also. However, If you can provide me with contact details I can ensure that a copy is sent to you direct.

Wow - as far as I can tell - all the issues I had with the last few version are all fixed now. I've been testing it pretty solidly for a few days now and it hasn't bugged out properly once yet.

It does still crash if you attempt to load an empty POD file (ie the result of exporting a grid with a cube that is empty), but that's a pretty irrelevant bug. Editing is MUCH MUCH better. I haven't done heaps, but it seem a lot more stable. Haven't tried rendering yet ... so I guess that'll be the final test.

I too put my hand up for export to e57 (or even las). It's limiting that the only exports are still pts, xyz and pod, but I guess it's much more important that the bugs were all ironed out before adding features.

Has the POD format stayed the same ? i.e. is it downward compatible ?

Hi,

tx for the feedback and positive words.

I will pass these to the development team.

Heard you on e57 expert request as well as on the obit wizard issue.

I am planning a new release during the fall and we will look at what can be done. The priority will still be on fixes and I welcome inputs on the remaining one that are important too.

Regards
Ben

Dan,
Any more testing done?
Have you tried rendering with it?
Sorry, but I am very gun shy of Bentley and PT...
Too many broken promises and lack of delivery.

I am too really interested to find out if some of the rendering issues have been addressed, like:
Having too turn Auto Memory Usage - 'off'
The fact that it sometimes leaves out chunks of pointcloud in the render
bad.jpg
Also the Layers & Visibility button 'Unhide' - sometimes moves all pointcloud data to the default layer !

Bentley pointools is best for video maker based poincloud. But with 32bit ver, I have many error with memory.
However, all video was maked by pointcloud, is wonderful.
I always look forward 64bit version. If you have 64bit version trial, can you sent me link to download
Thank you very much.
