Geo3D 2.5.9 (Mac OS X)

October 12, 2016

  • || Modes/Edit URL: Adding an empty URL could cause a crash
  • || German version: fixed menu “Blickpunkte”
  • || Several minor internal improvements

  • || Viewpoints: Saving a 3DMF file which contains internal references with Geo3D viewpoints could corrupt the file. Possible workaround: Save the file once as stream 3DMF to resolve the references.
  • || Reading text 3DMF files is limited; therefore I suggest - if possible - to convert these files using Anatas.
