BSS Software are pleased to announce a new update for MudShark Earthworks, with version 7.1.
Result Totals
With Mudshark 7.1 you, can now easily get your totals for new Areas, Lengths, and Counts in Results. From the Results tab in a project you will be able to see the various totals from your takeoff; including counts, lengths, areas and volumes. These totals will now appear at the top of your sub categories.
An example of Totals shown in Results.
Improved Transmute Area
Transmute Area being used on a plan.
Do you know about Transmute Area. This is a feature that will find areas for you on your Plan without you having to trace around the shape.
The Transmute Area will also work on larger areas, especially those equal to or bigger than 15 m2 or 50 sq ft.
Improvements
- Improved performance when using Calculate by about 5%. This increase is noticeable for projects with 40 or more contours, or 2000 or more points of data or 10 or more structures.
- Transmute Dashed Line improved, so you can takeoff a wider range of dashed lines from a plan.
- Large arc improvements when importing PDFs into MudShark.
- Trimming is now calculated when trimming existing structures against existing surfaces.
- Adjust Altitude improvements for some Transmuted lines.
Fixes
- You can now Transmute spots if the tins come in as quads.
- Legend of the Heat Map is now calibrated when reopening a Project.
- Fixed an issue which could display an error message and not recalculate a project if structures covered the entire site of a project.
- Improved how calculations are completed when invalid boundaries
Compatibility
Approximately every 3 years Autodesk changes their file formats, making older versions of the software incompatible with this new file format.
Our customers have already started receiving new .dwg and .dfx files, it’s important that you can make use of the latest technology.
MudShark can now accurately read in .dwg 2018 and .dfx 2018 file formats, so you can read in these files when exported from the latest version of AutoCAD or wherever you export your .dwg or .dfx files.
