Latest Release From NavisWorks Enhances JetStream Experience
NavisWorks Ltd. announced the release of NavisWorks JetStream Version 4.3 and made it freely available to NavisWorks Bondholders to download. This newest NavisWorks product is about stability and reliability and will deliver an improved user experience. Headline enhancements introduced in this release focus on expanding interoperability and include support for the ASCII laser scan format, Autodesk Viz 2006 and Primavera v4.1 Engineering and Construction.
This latest JetStream release delivers enhanced laser scan file format support with ASCII added to readers for laser scan point cloud data from Z+F, Leica, Riegl, MENSI, Visi Image and iQvolution. The generic ASCII format is supported by all key laser scanner equipment manufacturers and this improved JetStream release continues to compliment their value-add software. The JetStream ASCII support offers users flexibility and clarity because cloud color information can now be visualized.
The arrival of Version 4.3 provides route to effective interactive visualization for users of Viz 2006. This enhancement completes the Autodesk product compatibility delivered by our implementation of Real DWG and is consistent with our commitment, as long standing Autodesk Developer Network members, to satisfy the 3D review needs of Autodesk users.
This JetStream release up-dates support for Primavera in TimeLiner JS. Links from project schedules created in Primavera v4.1 can be made to 3D models for affordable 4D construction simulation and presentation of time-based modeling. The performance of this TimeLiner JS release has been optimized to give greater speed when working with many tasks on large projects.
Enhanced ActiveX & API
The usefulness of the NavisWorks JetStream API is further enhanced in this latest version.
