Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson for execution of loading a texture of three-dimensional image. From the training material the users of GIS "Panorama" also learn about possibilities of addition of objects from an exchange format into composition of the classifier templates.

The 3D bookmark is used for creation and correcting three-dimensional objects of the classifier. In 3D section the file with extension .P3D is specified in which three-dimensional images and textures are stored. To add a texture, open the "Textures" bookmark and click "Load". After loading the texture file, you can customize the parameters of the selected texture using the "Parameters" bookmark.

Import of 3D models of objects from exchange formats is performed using the 3D bookmark, which is located in the description of the classifier object. In the "Edit 3D - view" dialog, you need to open the "Templates" bookmark - "List of templates" and "Add new template". Next, select the template parameters - "Add" and go to "Template parametres". In the "Mark editing" dialog, you need to import the mark model created in a third-party editor by pressing the DAE button. In the next dialog, you should set additional parameters of the sign - "Turn mark relative metric" and "Save". The new 3D model created by a method of the 3D model import is ready. The created model can be used to display a conventional symbol of a 3D map.

You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the maps of the Murmansk and Pskov regions on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The maps were formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the maps, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The maps were led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m) and were saved into a packed project (mptz). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region's territory (country, subject of the federation, administrative region), a map of the administrative-territorial division of the region and a digital classifier. Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" SE version 14.1.0 has been developed for the operating system "Astra Linux Special Edition" ("Smolensk" release). In the new version the tools of editing of digital terrain maps and plans of cities, calculations on a map, preparations of three-dimensional terrain models, creation of matrixes of heights and others have been updated. In the operator.rsc classifier, the display of the conventional symbols "Area (zone) of territorial claims of neighboring states" and "Area (region) of a possible frontier armed conflict" has been improved in accordance with the KEUS with use of a new type of sign "Cross polygon with offset". The new version of the program is adapted for work in the OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" Release "Smolensk" of version 1.7.

To display various tabular information on the map, a new graphic sign "Table" has been developed. To display the table in the desired position, a point object is created that has a link to the CSV file in semantics and a conventional symbol of the "Table" type. A CSV file is a set of lines containing the values of one or more table fields (columns) separated by symbols - comma, semicolon, tab. The graphical parameters of the table are customized in the semantics of the object. With the help of objects of the "Table" image the various statistical data on financial, environmental, economic, medical, tax, meteorological, demographic topics can be presented, which can be obtained on the websites of the Federal State Statistics Service. Statistical data can be displayed both for Russia as a whole, and for various indicators for municipalities in the Database of indicators of municipalities. Different layers of the map can contain tables for different themes and years. Tables, like other objects, can have visibility scale ranges. At updating the table the data will change accordingly on a map.

In the "Map Editor", the mode of creating multipolygons, multiline or multipoint objects based on selected objects is implemented, depending on the character of localization of selected objects - areal, linear or point. The metric of the selected objects is combined into one object with common semantics, and the processed objects are deleted. Metric merging is performed only for objects that have the same classification code as the first selected object.

The structure of storing arrays of colors for primitives of 3D-models of the DB3D format has been improved. Import of a cloud of points from MTD format into format DB3D has been changed. Display of DB3D-models with use of new possibilities of a format was improved.

The user interface of the program has been improved for use in operating systems with a high density of displaying images on the screen. This expands the range of application of the software product on devices with reduced screen sizes - portable laptops, specialized tablets and other similar devices. The program interface of the dialogs makes the most of the opportunities provided by the layout system of the elements of the visual design environment. This allows you to get the design of dialogs adapted to the display parameters in accordance with the settings of the operating system.

Dialog of creating a matrix of heights according to data of a digital map has been improved. In dialog the possibility has been added for a choice of nomenclature sheets of a map and the user layers by which building a matrix of heights will be carried out. This possibility provides the user with additional flexibility in setting the parameters for creating matrixes of heights for regions of work, consisting of a large number of nomenclature maps sheets. The choice of sheets is performed by selection directly in the list of names of nomenclature sheets which will participate in processing. By means of special control buttons it is possible to select all sheets in the list at once, reset selection of all sheets, or invert the selection of sheets.

GIS "Operator" SE is a universal domestic geographic information system for power structures. The program is intended for accumulation, the storage, the automated processing and displaying the data, results of calculations and the forecasts having a geospatial binding. GIS "Operator" SE contains tools for displaying and processing vector, raster and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks of modeling the movement of special objects against the background of 3D model, a forecasting the consequences of emergencies on hazardous objects, a monitoring the movement of aircraft, a performing the geodetic and topographic work, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, a printing the displayed spatial data to various output devices and many others.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with maps of the regions of Martinique and Mayotte (France), formed according to OpenStreetMap data. Source data was obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the maps, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on the formation of a graphic file of a drawing of land plots and their parts. Users of the "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" or "Panorama-editor" can draw up drawings of land plots with the subsequent formation of graphic files of drawings using the tools of the complex of geodesy calculations.

The training material demonstrates the procedure for the formation of a drawing of land plots and their parts, drawn up in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation from December, 8th, 2015 № 921. On the basis of this order in software products of KB "Panorama" the classifiers of conventional symbols survey.v5.rscz and survey.v6.rscz have been developed. In the classifiers there are implemented a general list of layers, semantic characteristics and objects for display of cadastral data on cadastral maps and other cadastral documents. Preparation of a drawing of land plots and their parts is an obligatory stage in the production of cadastral works on the formation of a land survey plan of the plot.
