With version 4.1 Gräbert released in May 2008 update versions for all products of the SiteMaster surveying solutions.
This update contains a variety of new and improved features in response to customer requests which enhance the functionality of version 4.0.
For all customers who contracted a SiteMaster support plan the update to version 4.1 is free of charge and is ready for download. |
Among the improvements in SiteMaster Building, BuildingTS und BuildingLT you will find a drawing function based on laser measurements which provides free layer selection. Thus you can detail your floor plans by recording landings, podiums, sockets, ceiling joists, shafts, pipes, etc. To the function to close room contours an option to intersect the first and the most recently measured wall automatically. Distances measured with the laser device can now also be inserted to the drawing as text.
The update to version 4.1 contains improvements not only for the building surveying solutions with laser distancemeters, but also for surveying with the aid of Total Stations using SiteMaster BuildingTS and SiteMaster TopoSurvey. When measuring walls you can optionally create - in addition to the two-dimensional wall lines projected to the ground floor - the three-dimensional lines which represent the vector that has been measured in reality. Also the corners can be calculated automatically based on the vectors of two walls so that you do not need to aim directly into or onto corners when drawing walls. In SiteMaster BuildingTS you can now select a layer in advance when you use the Total Station specific functions to measure walls and other objects.
The new releases of SiteMaster version 4.1 are available both for Windows XP or Vista and Windows Mobile. Since version 4.0, you can read and write the DWG 2008 file format in all variants of SiteMaster.
Version 4.0 of SiteMaster products came out with a further professionalized user interface with new symbols used in icon menus and dialogs. Inserting blocks into the drawing has been made much easier by a preview dialog box displaying the entire section you have chosen. Enhancing the symbol libraries can be done via dialog boxes and does no more require knowledge about parameter files.
Version 4.0 of SiteMaster Building introduced measuring and drawing of staircases. They can be generated with or without line of travel and railing. The functionality for creating openings has been enhanced: the type of doors has been supplemented by bi-folded doors and revolving doors. Likewise windows doors can now be created with retainer.
Many new features have been integrated through the input of our SiteMaster users: i.e. an offset command that works with laser measurements. Another feature added is a "layer set tool" to fulfill the requirements of architect and engineers or any other contractor.
