We have updated how surfaces are visualized and used in Pointscene. Now they are more shareable and faster than ever before!
Elevation colors 
Contour lines
What we heard
Our elevation coloring for surfaces (GeoTIFF DSM / DTM) was good and needed, but was too slow and couldn’t be shared. Sometimes you need to see the height differences and orthos at the same time.
What we did
Surface updates
- Surfaces are visualized faster
- Surfaces can be visualized by elevation coloring or contour lines
- Surfaces color and contour level can be adjusted (min-max Z)
- Selected surface min-max values can be applied for all layers for comparison
- Surfaces can be shared as WMTS, WMS, TMS, XYZ
- User settings are shared in the share links (e.g. set min-max = 0-10 m)
Other updates
- All sites open faster
- Profile tool shows top profile even if there’s no data from bottom surface
- Volume tool keeps drawn boundary even if there’s no data from bottom surface
How it works
Please update your previous surface using the UPDATE button. After the new layer appears (1-10min), you can delete the old one.
Please upload new surfaces via Upload file page.
Adjust visualizing settings from the OPTIONS button inside the layer.
Create share links from Publish & Manage page
