  • Added a checkbox to indicate when a Qinsy model is being used for vertical referencing
  • Fixed an issue with dual head Kongsberg .kmall files where the head offsets were being applied to the wrong head
  • Fixed duplicate dynamic surface to ensure limit horizontal bounds are preserved
  • Improved height shifting to catch first or last pings not being properly shifted
• Tools and Editors

  • Fixed an issue with the line height matching tool where the plot was not updating after applying the shift
  • Fixed an issue where no time bubbles were displayed when saving a vessel configuration
  • Selecting associated files will now prompt you for which file type to select when a Dynamic Surface contains processed point files and raw sonar files

  • Fixed an issue with the slice editor toolbar being greyed out when making a polygon selection and right clicking
  • The result of the heave/swell removal tool can now be edited with the time series editing tools
