Improved Categorisation in Layer Template Gallery

Our extensive template gallery has been enhanced to provide improved categorisation, making it easier for users to explore or search.

Additionally, users now have the option to create their own custom layers if they are unable to find a suitable template.

February 27th Improvements

Users can now: 

• In PDF legends, a line now displays at the bottom of each group, indicating the layers contained within the group
• Have a better experience when importing large quantities of layers

Issue fixes: 

• Resolved an issue causing multiple site maps (CADs) to appear in the same location during PDF exports
• Fixed an issue preventing the update of rectangular shape sizes using their attributes

3D Buildings Toggle

Users now have the option to toggle 3D buildings on or off within a background map.

Importing and Copying Layers

Users can now import all layers from one plan into another. This helps to bring plans together for reviewing or analysing.

Additionally, when importing an entire group of layers, the group itself is now also imported, and users can also copy groups within plans.

3D Line Layer Offsetting

When drawing a line of 3D models, the model starting point can be offset to align with the start of the line.

This helps to improve the accuracy of drawing certain layers – like barriers and fencing.

February 22nd Improvements

Users can now: 

• In PDF legends, a line now displays at the bottom of each group, indicating the layers contained within the group
• Have a better experience when importing large quantities of layers

Issue fixes: 

• Resolved an issue causing multiple site maps (CADs) to appear in the same location during PDF exports
• Fixed an issue preventing the update of rectangular shape sizes using their attributes

Route Generator

The new Route Generator tool auto-generates routes, helping users to reduce time and improve the accuracy of routes such as pedestrian and vehicle routes. 

• Automatic route generation: Set origin and destination points by searching or clicking on the map. The tool calculates the quickest routes for cars, bicycles, or pedestrians over any distance
• Automatic waypoint generation: Waypoints are automatically created and saved to your Layers allowing you to create routes by defining key points of reference that can be used for location and navigation
• Precision control: For greater control and more complex routes, add intermediate points or drag the route to tailor it exactly how you want it 
• Edit anytime: Even after saving, come back anytime to make further adjustments  

Add Custom Remarks to PDFs

Users can add customised remarks to a PDF export for improved insights.  
 
This new feature allows users to add version information or other pertinent notes to PDF exports, which are displayed within the legend. 

January 31 Improvements

Users can now: 

• Experience a faster and more responsive map with our recent performance enhancements 
• Use attributes to determine the spacing between models in 3D line layers, allowing for precise adjustments such as identifying the gap between barriers  

Issue fixes: 

• Long names/emails will no longer overflow the “Created by” box in PDF outputs
• Hidden layers and groups will no longer show in PDF legends 

Precision Planning with What3words Integration

What3words is now integrated into the Iventis Planner as an attribute type.

With What3words, users can quickly pinpoint any 3 x 3 square in the world using a with a simple three-word phase. For instance, the central spot in Wembley stadium is represented by ‘years,spike.raced’. The integration provides users with the ability to:

• Explain exactly where something is or should be, easier than relaying complex coordinates
• Plan exact location information alongside other crucial data from directly within an Attribute table
• Download What3Words data for multiple points

GPX File Import Capability

Iventis now supports the import of GPX files , a widely used format in GPS software. Satnavs and running/cycling apps like Strava offer the capability to export GPX data which traces a route.

This latest feature enables users to physically walk, drive or cycle a route, such as a marathon route, and import it directly into Iventis to help plan events.

14 January 24 Improvements

Users can now:

• Use the Delete shortcut key to delete Layers inside groups
• More easily sort and view columns in an Attribute table

Issue fix:

• When exporting list attributes with special characters
