We are pleased to announce the December 2022 release of LISTECH Neo, the next generation surveying, engineering, and geospatial software.

• Added an option to scale blocks uniformly
• Added an option to validate data before terrain model creation
• Added an option to create 2D user coordinate systems
• Added an option to select linked point clouds
• Added a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R to remove the last segment under construction and removed some rarely used keyboard shortcuts
• Replaced the Modify Interpolate Height from Terrain Model tool with a more flexible Modify Height tool
• Enhanced the Modify Rotate command to allow rotation about a custom axis
• Enhanced the Modify Snap Vertex command to optionally snap to a reference line
• Enhanced the Modify Insert Vertex command to convert two point arcs to three point arcs rather than adding an additional arc
• Enhanced the Attributes tool to show more detailed information about dynamic text
• Enhanced the Attributes tool to show chord bearings for arcs
• Enhanced the Leica LS/DNA GSI and Trimble DiNi DAT imports to optionally adopt existing points and rename points
• Enhanced the Trimble JXL import to create point attributes for notes taken in the field
• Enhanced the 12d Archive export to optionally use points for string vertex attributes
• Enhanced the ePlan Victoria import to support the new Digital Cadastral Modernisation Project format and changed layer naming convention
• Enhanced the coordinate system transformation to migrate datum transformations used by georeferenced images and image services
• Enhanced the query language to support:
  • Wildcards for layer names
  • Setting layer visibility by group name and for the active layer
  • Updating text attributes using numerical properties
• Enhanced distance text to support 3D distances
• Enhanced the viewport layer override to include text background colour and changed text colour to not invert if it has a background
• Changed terrain model creation to ignore all breaklines that contain a vertex with default height

In addition, various other improvements and optimisations have been made throughout the system.
