Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on creating a multiscale map using the "Map Sorting" and "Classifier Editor" tasks. These modes are available to users of GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist" and other software products of KB "Panorama".

Multiscale linear and vulgar objects can have several the additional contours created in procedure "Sort of map objects" when generalizing multiscale objects. This speeds up the display of complex objects and makes the terrain more visual.

Additional contours are formed for smaller scales of display - 1/4 1/16, 1/64 from base scale of a map and are recorded into the object metrics together with the basic contour. When compressing the map, those contours of objects that are closer to the current display scale will automatically be displayed. This speeds up the display of complex objects and makes the terrain more understandable. During any editing of the map and when performing calculations based on the object's metrics, the basic contour of the multiscale object is processed. Multiscale objects are one of the elements of a multiscale map that changes its appearance when the display scale is changed.

You can view the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of urban-planner" version 15.1.3 has been developed. In the new version the group of modes automating an order of application of rules of land use and municipal development has been improved.

To manage the development of the territory of a municipality and the development of land plots, it is necessary to comprehensively use information about territorial zoning, land plots and real estate objects. The procedure for an integrated approach is established by the rules of land use and development, which are regulated by the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation and include: amap of territorial zoning, urban planning regulations and the procedure for applying the rules. Updated "Complex of urban-planning tasks" provides use of information of urban-planning regulations concerning the land plots and objects of capital construction located within the corresponding territorial zone, including: types of permitted use of land plots and objects of capital construction; limiting (minimum and (or) maximum) sizes of land plots and limiting parameters of permitted construction, reconstruction of objects of capital construction; restrictions of using land plots and objects of the capital construction, established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The improved mode "Automatic filling of regulations of land plot development" allows to define automatically on a map a territorial zone in which the land plot falls, and to assign the established types of permitted use and the development parameters to the land plot. The connection of a land plot with urban planning regulations is carried out through the semantics of the objects "Index of territorial zone" of the territorial zoning map. The mode carries out control, taking into account that each plot must be located only in one territorial zone. The exception is land plots, the boundaries of which, in accordance with land legislation, may cross the boundaries of territorial zones. If a plot falls completely within the territorial zone, it is assigned a urban planning regulation in accordance with the semantics the "Index of territorial zone". If plot falls within the boundaries of several territorial zones, then urban planning regulations are not assigned for such plot. During the execution of the mode, a report is formed. It reflects control errors, and also the assigned and possible options of urban planning regulations which it is possible to analyse and make the decision on a choice of the necessary.

The algorithm for establishing spatial and logical connections between land plots and objects on the territorial zoning map has been updated. The digital classifier urban.v2.rsc has been updated, which must be used to maintain a territorial zoning map. To connect areas and territorial zones, the spatial location of the area within the zone and the semantics "Index of territorial zone" with the ZoneIndex key are used.

In the new version of the "Workstation of urban-planner" the list of reports has been expanded. The report "Types of permitted use of a territorial zone" contains a list of main, auxiliary and conditionally permitted types of use for a specific territorial zone. The report "Print of urban-planning regulations" includes all types of permitted use with established parameters for the development of a territorial zone. To fill in the parameters of the development of a territorial zone, the functions "Add" and "Add with copying" have been added.

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

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Rwanda, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). 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 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 15.1.3 has been developed. The program has updated algorithms and methods for using information on the accuracy of cadastral measurements, taking into account the requirements of the order of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography dated October 23, 2020 No. P/0393. The procedure for maintaining the specified information in the cadastral object model has been clarified.

The dialog "Editing attributes of a cadastral object" provides input and editing of information about the method of determining coordinates, the formula used for calculating the mean square error in determining the coordinates of a characteristic point, the value of the SKP of determining coordinates (Mt) and the formula used for calculating the maximum error in determining the area of a cadastral object (Mp). For land plots, processing of the semantics "Permitted use according to the regulatory act (text description) has been added. Separate input of semantic values "Account Boundary Number" and "Individual designation (kind, type, number, index) a territorial zone" have been implemented.

The "Land survey plan" mode has been updated in terms of using information about the accuracy of cadastral measurements from the cadastral object model, which includes polygons describing the boundaries of the land plot and point objects - characteristic points of the boundaries. When generating a test report and an XML file for a land survey plan, a variable selection of data was implemented when filling out information about the accuracy indicators for determining coordinates and area. To fill the value Mt of characteristic points, the values of semantics and program settings are used according to the following algorithm. If there is a point sign on the map, it is asked for the value of the semantics "RMS of point position". Otherwise, value of semantics "RMS of point position" of the land plot is requested. If both conditions are not met, then the value from the options of the "Cadastral documents" module is used to fill in Mt. To fill in the value of the formula used for calculating the RMS of determining the coordinates of a characteristic point, the value of the semantics "Formula for calculating Mt" of the land plot is requested. If there is no semantics, then the value from the settings of the "Cadastral Documents" module is used to fill out the formula. To fill in the Mp value, the program performs a calculation using the formula specified in the options of the "Cadastral Documents" module. Received value Mp is inserted into the report and XML file. When calculating Mp, the value of the standard value Mp used in the calculations is requested from the semantics of the "RMS of point position" of the land plot. If semantics is not present, then the value from module options "Cadastral documents" is taken. To fill in the value of the formula used for calculating the maximum error in determining the area of a cadastral object, the value of the semantics "Formula for calculating the area" of the land plot is requested. If there is no semantics, then the value from the settings of the "Cadastral Documents" module is used to fill out the formula. The insert of values of attributes GeopointOpred and Formula has been added when forming the Ordinate and NewOrdinate elements in an XML file. Reading of the semantics "Permitted use according to a regulatory act (text description)" has been added to fill in the PermittedUseText element in the PermittedUsesOther node of the XML-file of the land survey plan version 9. Errors have been corrected when changing document information about the permitted use of land and land category. The recording of unnecessary elements OKATO, KLADR, OKTMO into the XML file has been eliminated. Recording into the XML file of information about the document on establishing an address in the Address element has been corrected.

In the "Technical plan" dialog, a field has been added for entering the error in determining the area of a cadastral object (Mp). Determination of the area of a building, structure, premises or parking space is carried out during cadastral measurements based on the internal dimensions of the premises as the sum of the areas of the simplest geometric figures. The number of figures and the breakdown order are established by the cadastral engineer. The resulting area value is saved in the semantics "Area according to documents" (AREADOC) of the real estate object and is displayed in the dialog. The AREADOC and Mp values are used when generating a text report and an XML technical plan file. A recording has been added into the XML file of object coordinates and point numbers if there are no point signs on the map - characteristic points. The position "Date" has been added in the table of geodetic points when saving in XML. When filling out the XML file of the GeopointOpred element (Method for determining coordinates), the ability of initialization of value by default has been added if there are no point symbols on the map - characteristic points. In this case, the value is taken from the semantics of the cadastral object.

In the "Correction of registry errors" mode, the process of generating a text report is made cross-platform using the DOCX format. Recording information about deleted points into the report has been corrected. A filter has been set for adding graphic files in PDF and JPG formats; these files can be used when inserting images into the Applications section.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have updated the application development kit for GIS "Panorama" 15. In the new version the source texts of the task "Navigator 3D" from the applications of GIS "Panorama" have been added. "Navigator 3D" is used for dynamic construction, display and viewing of three-dimensional terrain models (three-dimensional maps) based on various types of data used in the GIS "Panorama", and also contains tools for working with a three-dimensional map and functions for importing models.

The source texts of the task consist of the texts of two libraries projects: library of the map3dex task core (engine) and library of the map3d window interface. On the basis of given texts it is possible to develop your own task in different versions. For example, to expand the functionality of an existing interface in the map3d library, to build your own task for working with a three-dimensional map using the API functions of the map3dex library, or to change and modify the contents of the core.

To build a three-dimensional terrain model, the following can be used: a vector map, a matrix of heights, a triangulation relief model (TIN model), a map classifier, a library of three-dimensional images of objects, the digital photographs of the terrain and digital photographs of terrain objects. The composition of the source data can be different and depends on what type of model needs to be obtained.

To build a three-dimensional model taking into account the objects of a vector two-dimensional map, a library of three-dimensional images of various types of these objects is used, which is added into the classifier of any map. API functions make it possible to programmatically form parameters for typified three-dimensional models of user objects. You can create your own views in the library of 3D images in the "Classifier Editor" task.

The task has wide functionality for customizing the display of a three-dimensional model: display with or without relief, in full or skeleton form, with real lighting depending on the selected date, time and location, or with a spotlight, with map objects, and others. The possibilities for controlling the three-dimensional map are also different - you can move the model using the keyboard or mouse, change the speed of movement and turn, observation mode, display projection of the model and other actions.

Working with a three-dimensional map provides: taking measurements; creating and editing 3D map objects; creating and editing a three-dimensional view of map classifier objects; control of the display composition of superficial and three-dimensional objects; creating and playing scenarios of moving objects; creating trajectories of camera movement along the model and playing back camera movement along the model; placing virtual video cameras and displaying images from them in additional video camera windows; saving terrain model images from the main window and video camera windows in JPG, PNG, BMP and AVI formats; saving a three-dimensional map into a database in the form of a pyramid of three-dimensional tiles in the DB3D format.

Import of third-party 3D models allows you to load models in DAE, OBJ, TLS, OC3, MTD formats into the database of 3D models of the DB3D format and display them on a 3D map. A more complete description of the "3D Navigator" task is presented in the documentation.

The new version of the kit is available for download on the Download page.
