- Redesigned Graphical User Interface: A lighter, more focused and streamlined experience that keeps your data front and centre. - New Geotech tool for Scanlines: Define a line across a rock face - on the photograph or the 3D LiDAR scan - and record every discontinuity that intersects it. - Measure structures on LiDAR scans: Select 3 points along the structure to get dip & dip direction. - Orientation measurements are now visualised as 3D disc and arrows. - Simplified FaceID: Shorten file names by excluding date and time. Enable in Settings > General > Simplified FaceID. - Digital Tape Measure via AR: Use the iPad Pro's LiDAR for length measurements (e.g., face width). - Survey Points and Laser Stations tables can now be sorted by tapping the column header. - Assign locations for RMR89 and Q System values on photographs or LiDAR scans to preserve their spatial context. - Opacity slider for Sample Sets. - Linear Sample Set trace saved as DXF file. - Restructured and simplified Settings page. - Improved memory management: no more cache memory issues. - Improved networking performance for faster uploads and downloads.

All mapping lines now have a lower number of nodes, which can be further reduced by enabling Simplify Lines in Settings > General > Mapping Annotations. - LiDAR scanning now supports any device orientation

- Fixed issue where Structure Attributes were not saved - Resolved LiDAR scan texture issues

- New 'Pick on Scan' georeferencing method for face photographs - Georeferenced face photographs can now be viewed in 3D scene with LiDAR scan - Improved image quality for face photographs - Fixed imperial unit issue in sampling report PDF

- Welcome to Liquid Glass. Rock Mapper now follows Apple's new design language for iOS / iPadOS 26. - New Digital Geological Compass. Use your iPad to capture orientation measurements for planes and lineaments (e.g., lithological contacts or intersection lineations). - Pan and Zoom for face pictures. You can now zoom into face photographs, and pan to the left wall, right wall and roof / backs. Double tap to maximise view. - Sample Bag ID Scanner. Instead of manually entering IDs printed onto sample bags, scan them using the iPad's camera. - Pictures and Attributes for POIs. Assign a picture and customisable attributes to POIs. Great for (geotechnical) inspections. - Edit Settings. All annotation layers, report fields and attributes can now be edited or duplicated. Simply long press to open contextual menu. Other improvements & changes - Improved, smart label placement and sizing on photographs and LiDAR scans. - Auto-detect structure type when placing structural measurements on annotation lines (e.g., on a fault line). - Copy / paste for sample interval data. - Streamlined input for structural measurements. Structure type (Plane or Lineament) now directly defined in Settings. All Contacts are automatically classified as type Plane. - Orientation value check. If entered structural measurements are outside of valid range (e.g., dip = 124), then value is highlighted in red and can't be saved. - New column SiteID added to [FaceID]_metadata.csv file. - New green globe icon for rock face thumbnails to indicate fully georeferenced rock faces. - Device storage warning when device is running low on it. - Zero delay when adding scale bars and generating 2D sampling grids thanks to a new algorithm. Previously it could take a few seconds, especially for dense grids and complex / jagged face outlines. - Improved input for laser station and survey point coordinates. Pressing the return button on the virtual keyboard automatically moves cursor to next field. - POI labels can now be visualised without comments using the new show / hide comments feature. - Mapping Report and Sampling Report PDF preview and quick-share option. Accessible via long press thumbnail on rock face gallery page. - 'What's New' window to inform users about most important new features and changes after updating. - New [FaceID]_history.csv file. Records events CREATE, UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD, EXPORT, IMPORT, SAVE, DUPLICATE, RENAME, GEOREFERENCE as well as DATETIME, RMVERSION, RMID and SITEID for each rock face. - New [FaceID]_POIs.csv file. Records all POI information including POI picture names, POI picture coordinates and POI attributes.

- Two-Point Georeferencing issue fixed

- Fixed 2-Point georeferencing issue

- Fixed 3D sampling / domain texture export issue - Fixed projected laser point calculation issue

- Fixed issue related to Sample ID entry

- Fixed the issue where imported face photographs were incorrectly oriented

- Fixed memory issues that caused the application to crash when saving changes on LiDAR scans

- Fixed issue where sampling data on face photograph got shifted if collected in portrait mode but later edited in landscape mode

- Fixed issue where sample sets were removed when later adjusting the heading value

- Portrait image cropping issue fixed

- Fixed magnetic declination / mine grid rotation issue

- Fixed POI comment issue

- FaceID / file naming adjustments (in case Level and/or Region include hyphen or underscore). After uploading/exporting, hyphen (-) is treated like a special character or blank and gets converted to underscore (_). Underscore (_) stays underscore (_). - Order of sample attributes in app settings is now reflected in sampling CSV file.

- Relaxed touch timing for Reference Points. Thanks for the feedback, Matt :)

- Larger 3D LiDAR scans: Capture twice the area in a single scan. - Higher level of detail: Get twice the texture resolution for 3D LiDAR scans. - Double-tap to set rotational point on 3D LiDAR scan (especially handy for larger scans). - New dedicated tool for rock mass assessment using RMR89 (after Bieniawski 1989). - Rock Mass Quality (Q System) and Rock Mass Rating (RMR89) tables added: Get a quick overview of rock mass quality and rating ranges. - New About section in Settings: Quickly check app version, iOS version, iPad model, available storage and access our Knowledge Base. - New text labels for 3D LiDAR scans: Better readability due to optimised text overlap and improved scaling behaviour. - Major Upload / Download improvements: Improved upload preparation and info plus smart queuing for downloads including download counter. - Magnetic compass improvements: Improved accuracy (in preparation for the digital geological compass feature coming in version 3.5). - Relaxed formatting rules for Survey_Points.csv and Laser_Stations.csv: If text or numbers in CSVs are in quotation marks, then Rock Mapper will now handle them. - Memory / storage handling improvements: Better managing large files (such as LiDAR scans) and allow user to manually clear cache by using Delete All button in Settings. - Local Mode licence check improvements: Files can now be accessed and shared completely offline for up to 48 hours after the last connection to the Rock Mapper Cloud. - Retain local settings: When opening third-party or external rock faces, any annotation layers that aren’t already configured in the settings will no longer be added automatically. - Auto-expanding comment field for POIs: Easy input of long text for POIs. - New, unified design and layout for processing screen: Cleaner UI, better UX :) - Filled Area value for 3D LiDAR scan domains now included in Sampling Report PDF. - AREA_PCT and AREA_PCT_FILLED values in [FaceID]_area.csv are now saved with four decimal places to prevent rounding issues when adding them up. - Sampling data assigned to non-georeferenced LiDAR scans now included in rock face ZIP file (previously only available if scan was fully georeferenced). - Improved Apple Pencil behaviour for LiDAR scans: Tapping outside the scan now allows the user to rotate it using the Apple Pencil. Bugfixes - Fixed 2-Point georeferencing issue when using imperial units. - Fixed issue where metric units were reported in PDF reports even though rock faces were captured using imperial units. - Fixed issue related to renaming rock faces. - Fixed slow loading Survey Points tab. - Fixed georeferencing indicator issue. - Fixed shifted wall outlines (when using face photographs on devices with different resolution). Happy Rock Mapping :)
