In this release our Web team has focused on supporting COPC files in the Potree Viewer and enabling Gauging/Clearance users to select custom colours for points in the Slice Viewer. There was also a focus on improving Gauging/Clearance error messages to provide users with more information when a slice fails QA. As usual, there are bug fixes included in this version, as we continue to improve the overall customer experience.
Core Product Updates
⭐ Feature Highlight: COPC file format is now supported ⭐
Cordel Connect
Cloud Optimised Point Cloud (COPC) files are LAZ/LAS files that include oct-tree metadata for faster indexing. The LiDAR Viewer now has direct support for these file types.
What you need to know:
~ A COPC file is a LAZ 1.4 file that stores point data organized in a clustered octree. It contains a VLR that describes the octree organization of data that are stored in LAZ 1.4 chunks.
~ COPC files are supported in the LiDAR Viewer through Azure pre-signed URLs or Amazon pre-signed URLs.

Customise point colours in slice editor
Users who are editing bulk survey data are now able to change the colour of point types / attributes, and these changes will be retained over sessions. This allows users to use their preferred colours for different point types without those preferences affecting other users.
To access the colour picker, simply select the filter icon to edit colour preferences.
These colour preferences are then saved across browser sessions and are stored through local browser storage.
Users can now navigate directly to a survey from the structure page
