1:33 thanks lisa for the lovely introduction and welcome everyone to what's new in version 15 travis spreadsheet i'd like to say thanks for making the time and before we begin there are a number of updates that we'll go through which are there as updates which are there to make people's live lives easier and then there are some updates there that are in response to the requirements under cadastral survey rules 2021 i've got a brief agenda for what we're going to cover today before we get into the travis spreadsheet side of things i'm quite keen to take everyone through just briefly through the version 15 user interface it has changed and some of you may have not moved over

2:21 to version 15 quite yet and i'd like to just take you through the new new interface so it is familiar to you object tree very brief explanation of what this is and what it's going to look like on your screen and then we can crack right into what's new in this travel spreadsheet side of things okay so we have the new version 15 startup menu here as you can see it's very much had a facelift and we've got a number of very easy to navigate menu icons and options you've got your last open project which uh it's a nice easy way to if you you know constantly working on one project nice easy way to

3:07 get into it when you open up 12d flicking in between projects i have a list of your recent projects opened up and we'll have a bit more of a deeper look in the next slide new project sp visual click on it go through grab your settings and create your folder of projects open existing projects where you can browse to your network drive etc and your settings and we've also got a nice new help dock there where you can access the website our youtube channel which has a number of training videos i highly recommend it and a number of simply informative videos again i highly recommend you check out the youtube channel lots of help there hours and

3:52 hours and hours of training our reference manual um rather long but very well done and a and a lovely large document of what's new in version 15. i say large because there are a number of updates in version 15 and they are fantastic so let's get into this and let's go and have a look at what our recent projects menu would look like as you i've been clearly working on a number of training and test projects as you can see i've got quite a few there and that's in the in terms of recent projects menu if you'd like to open up a project simply double click on one of the projects there there are color coded blue is if the project is a version 15

4:41 project but hasn't got object tree enabled yet you will need to migrate it to an object free project before you use it black if it's in an earlier version you will need to migrate this to version 15 for it to come up as a different color and you'll be able to open it migrating is very easy by the way you simply click on the project and go open and a window will pop up saying are you sure you'd like to migrate and if you do migrate we will create a project uh where the previous version project will be stored as a old suffix and the new and the project will then open up with its name as it is

5:27 in green if it's a version 15 project orange if the project is already open and hence locked if you'd like to open up some options and have um create shortcuts rename the project copy etc simply click on the three dots and you'll have this option panel open up these icons on the left hand side they are themes if there are a number of themes that have been released with version 15 think of it as a very smart workspace if you will everything that you need for certain activities like survey water design or or if you'd like to have a more you know standard look there's the standard

6:13 theme and for those users who prefer 12d the look of 12d as it is there is a classic theme for you i'm not going to dive deep into it there is a a webinar that darlin has done already on the youtube channel please highly recommend you go and have a look at it it will explain things to you beautifully so if you'd like to open say this design basic project and a design theme simply click on that icon and choose a design theme to open it in object tree it's it's a really nice easy way to give something a structure and group

6:59 the objects and put it in a list format that makes it more readable but an example that most of you will understand is the xml if when you import an xml from land and land online there are a number of models that get created and in version 14 if you were to click on the plus or minus button to add or remove models you'll just get a very long list of models in version 15 with object tree it is a really nice way just to categorize things and should you want to go and turn on only points and the descriptions for example you can go and do that very very easily without having to sort of figure out

7:45 where that which model they sit in etc i really like object tree and if for those of you who you know prefer the old look or anything like that please just you you can easily go and change it to how it used to look and you can actually change what sort of level of tree you can see as well i will show this to you in just one moment so here i have a 12d model project and i'm going in version 15 and i'm going to add some models and as you can see i've got some travis spreadsheet models and some xml models and there are quite a few of them i've got every single

8:31 tree folder if you will open but if you click on that settings icon you can go and change that if you just want to see the main folders you can do that and and so forth if you wish to go and just have a look at a list of models you can do it and you'll notice on the right hand side it will tell you where in the tree it sits so each slash or each backslash rather represents a tree structure and if you'd like to go back and change it to the object tree again you can do that very easily by simply clicking on the object tree button right there that was a quick fire into

9:17 what object tree is and what it looks like on your 12d screen now travis spreadsheet time before we go into 12d model and play around with what's new and some of the settings i'd just like to go through the actual trevor's spreadsheet panel just to show you a couple of new tick box editions so we've got a box now a tick box called bearing correction now and when you tick that on you'll have a bearing correction tab open up there and your projection viewing tab open up there and we've also got a give so we've got a show description tab now when you enter

10:04 your travis marks pigs etc you can add your description and the travis block without having to go through the point utilities panel i think it's fantastic i myself used to forget all the time to go into the point utilities panel and add mark descriptions so this is a lifesaver okay so let's get into 12d model and have a look at some of these changes now when you download 12d model you get some standard files and we also send you some user files which we have kindly customized to to the majority of our customers needs and a few requires some help customizing

10:51 them further please don't hesitate to call us on the support line all right so let's look at some of the changes in the treatment spreadsheet and version 15 now okay let's have a look at some of these trevor spreadsheet changes now before i start looking at the travis block itself and the beer and collections etc i just want to go through the trevor spreadsheet parameters when you download version 15 you'll get a standard trevor spreadsheet parameter file as part of your download and you'll uh you'll get it when you download the used files as well what i would recommend for for those of you starting off on version 15 please use the standard

11:38 travis spreadsheet file that is shipped with the build have a look at it try it out and then go and customize it i think there are enough changes here that that would be perhaps the best way to start we'll just briefly have a look at some of these changes now not a lot has changed in this general and the general tab it may look very very familiar to you for those of you who don't play around with parameters a lot this is where you go to turn on and off your settings for things like um when you go to edit a travis spreadsheet it remembers the last edited file um and

12:24 things like use automatic point numbering you can number your own or you can just let 12d do its thing in your data tab are some of the rules for how 12d writes your data and what tolerances that use and how you go about drafting drafting youtube's spreadsheet information you'll see some new things in here number one being append point number to new mac name we'll discuss this further but this is to help unique mark naming which is one of the requirements of the new cadential rules another thing that you'll notice here that's new is network models prefix now this relates

13:10 directly back to the object tree you can change this you can change it you know if you want to call things precalc or stage one etc and not have a pro sorry prefix of travis spreadsheets you can these are all wherever you can write those are all editable items that you can go and change to your liking nothing has changed in the report tab observations we with regard to the object tree we have changed how each oh sorry we have newly categorised how each line in the travis block is put into certain models we've

13:56 in response again to the credential survey rules we've added new mark sorry new travis line types which are through rand statement you've got reinstatement adopted calculated etc and it will go into these layers called boundary and then a folder underneath the boundary called reinstated this is all editable like i said have a play around with the standard and then when you see how it all works you can go right ahead and and customize it to your liking i know many people like to use different colors um etc so you can go through and change that and your points these these are pretty standard

14:42 points the only difference in here being again the object tree structure and parcels you can add parcels or take parcels out we haven't changed much in here other than the addition of height limited lots in height limited areas again which has come about in the new cadetship survey rules editable change the colors change where it goes if you like once you've done and once you've made your changes simply click right and if you want to save the changes just for that single project please put in the current folder if you'd like it to be available to all the other projects then put it in the user folder and next time you open a project or

15:28 another project it will use those parameters that you have customized for yourself let's now look at the travis spreadsheet block and play around with some of the new changes that have been made to it as you can see i've got the beer and correction new tick box ticked on and our show description tick box ticked on as well and here is our description and like i said enter your travis line detail etc and simply key in the description of your mark there's no need to go into the point utilities panel anymore to do that you can do it there as well in the at the end if that's what your process is but there is a nice easy way of doing it at the time now we've got the bearing correction

16:14 tick box there and the panel is turned on as visible there as is the bearing if i turn that off now you'll see that both the bearing correction and the final projection viewing columns disappear let's um go through the bearing correction first so a bit of a bit of history as part of the previous versions if you had a bearing correction to apply to a plan you would apply it manually in the when you enter the viewing in however you would still put a bearing correction in in the references tab now if you will notice i have got a

17:00 correction of one minute in the correction tab in the survey information panel and and on dp310510 and i've got adopted lines from dp310510 and you'll notice that the one minute correction has been applied that's 24702 and with the minute correction that's 247.03 if i wanted to change that to minutes 30 i can i'll just go set and that will get updated immediately and i just click on update there if say that particular line there didn't

17:46 have a minute 30 correction the correction on that line was in fact two minutes we won't worry so much about the misclosed down the bottom this is just an exercise after all just put in two minutes and go update and you'll notice that any correction entered in that column overrides what is in the survey information panel a word trick for young players and this one if you are bringing in travis spreadsheets from another version which you can do very easily you simply open the travis spreadsheet in this version what you will need to do is if you have applied any viewing corrections please go and check them because what you'll

18:33 find is that if you've got them in the panel here it has been applied twice if it's a small spreadsheet by all means to be safe start again if it's a rather large one i suggest you sit down very diligently and go through go through your travis blocks so yeah that's my one piece of advice if you are bringing in projects from version 14 to version 15. not much has changed in the survey information panel again your adjustment is the same land online you enter your password class in there and your description and your survey number etc still very similar

19:18 if we go back to a block where there's been some traverse lines done let's just have a look at some of the new line types that we've added if you simply right click on the line type you will get a rather long list of the available types now with with the mapping in 12d to linen line when you use a travis line it will map automatically to a field light edm instrument type when you use a gps line it will automatically map to a gps instrument type so that is very very handy to ensure you've captured your vectors correctly and land online and as mentioned previously we've got

20:04 some new line types added for reinstatement surveys and that's what's come from the new cadastral survey rules another thing that's been updated to comply with the new survey rules the mark purpose mainly the purpose um so if you right click there now you haven't got things like we used to like witness marks etc you've still you've simply got the options that are approved by lens as part of the new rules mark types remain virtually the same as do the mark conditions we have added in things like um impracticable to mark

20:52 and search for not found and in the in the marked state very much the same in terms of what used to be there so the main thing really is your mark purpose has changed in the new rules and hence we've updated um the german speech inside of things in 12d right another update and the rules is unique mark naming so you can no longer have iron sheet one and peg one they need to be unique mark names and numbers um what we've done in version 15 is if you enter in a mark if you enter in a travis line

21:38 and you come to your name slash reference you certainly you just add in peg it whatever it is hit enter and the point number will be assigned as the mach number i'll just do a very brief um [Music] introduction a very brief demo of this we'll just call it whatever 30 degrees 30 meters no correction to be applied let's pretend it says oh sorry no let's pretend it's a travis line and let's pretend that is a peg you just click enter and you will notice that uh that i didn't type in the 8 12 did that automatically just gave it the point number as the mach number we can

22:24 do that again here call this 40 meters now and let's call that an iron tube so just type in iron tube and just hit enter and the mark a unique mark id will be assigned to that mark another update and and now this is in the parcel um now when you create a parcel you can go into your parcel information tab and you can lot to create it that's all literally the same but now you can add in a boundary class great if you've got for example a rural irregular boundary survey with some class a boundaries and class b boundaries you can now go and um choose

23:11 what the parcel boundary lines what class the parcel boundary lines would have so it's a fantastic new addition to version 15. there's a what's new version 15 pdf document that has been sent out and will continue to be sent out to people as they get the nodes files and download links etc if you haven't got it please email us at support 12d code nz and we will get you a copy asap if anyone's got any questions please stick around and ask questions at the end if you'd like to go through any of what i've shown you today in more depth please get in touch with us at support 12d dot co dot nz and we
