Ezigrade 4.0.2.170
When creating a drain/bank/road profile we now show edges of sections left and right. Also design heights along and at the end of the corridor are also shown as stars. Previously only design heights on other drain center lines were shown.

Ezigrade 4.0.2.167
Fixed a subtle grid when creating Trimble FMX, TMX files. Inside the FMX file we have a number of columns and grids. There is also an entry for the number of grid points. Rarely this value was calculated incorrectly. In this case the FMX,TMX would not show or use the .gps file.

Ezigrade 4.2.160
We have added in an "Adaptive Grid" data thinning. Very useful for Lidar and other big data sets.
Adaptive grid thinning reduces the number of points in a surface by first overlaying a regular grid across the dataset and selecting a small number of representative points within each grid cell, typically the highest, lowest, and optionally the point nearest the cell centre. Boundary and protected points are always retained. A new triangulated surface is then constructed from this reduced point set and compared with the original surface. Where the vertical difference between the two surfaces exceeds a specified tolerance, additional original points are inserted to improve the local surface representation. This process is repeated in several passes until the surface meets the required accuracy or a maximum number of iterations is reached, resulting in a significantly smaller dataset that preserves the essential geometry of the original terrain.

Ezigrade 4.2.144
Ezigrade can now import a ".ezigrade" file produced for levelguide. A good check on what you are actally sending out.
Bug in the Haulage arrows fixed. Sometimes it was not doing the whole job.
When doing a grading job with sections hinged together. We now have an option on whether you want all the sections hinged together to try and maintain there cut/fill ratio or simply conform to a common cut/fill ratio for all the sections together. We will add an entry to FAQ's with more details.

Ezigrade 4.2.142
We have migrated the background images from BingMaps to Azure Maps. BingMaps is no longer supported by Microsoft. Legacy Ezigrade programs will still display background images on old jobs; but New jobs will not be able to download background images.
Please download the latest version to keep using background images.
