Another maintenance version of LIME will soon be released. The team has been busy over the summer and first part of autumn, fixing up bugs and making improvements to existing tools, as well as some stress testing. Thanks to everyone who has sent in feedback, made suggestions, or reported issues. This helps us to improve the stability and user experience in the long run. With around 40 issues and minor adjustments included, this is another step change on the road to creating a futureproof and sustainable LIME!

A preview of some of the main changes:

• Save previously “global” parameters to Views. Vertical exaggeration (Z Scale), 3D scene background colour and north arrow state can all be configured per View, adding even more flexibility to your LIME 3D data presentations.
• Importing image files to Panels now fits the image to the 3D viewport.
• Georeferenced images can now be overlayed on cloud models (V3Geo, SAFARI).
• Autodesk FBX file loader.
• It is possible to open a new Point link (e.g. web links, images) without closing the previous pane. 3D Points can now be duplicated.
• Transforms are properly applied on export of Planes and Lines.
• Reworking of parts of the 3D Element creation dialogs and data tree to fix some long-standing issues.

LIME v2.2.2 – coming very soon. In the meantime, happy Halloween😊.
