Four Dimension Technologies offers its deepest sympathy
and condolences to everyone effected by the catastrophic
attacks on America on Tuesday, September 11. We are
shocked and saddened by these horrific events, and extend
our heartfelt prayers to the victims, their families, and
the firefighters, police and volunteers involved in the
rescue effort.
----------------------------------------------------------------
As we get back to our work, we have now released Version
2.2 of GeoTools. An update that should have been out much
earlier but had to be held back due to some issues with
programming resources.
GeoTools Version 2.2 is now available for download.
Pick up this latest update from
http://www.4d-technologies.com/geotools/download/geotools.exe
The following new commands have been added into GeoTools:
PFACE2PL - Convert polyface mesh to polylines:
The PFACE2PL command under the Conversion Tools allows
polyface mesh objects to be converted to polylines. This
has been added in some quickness as a result of one of our
customer requests. I apologize in advance if there are any
bugs still lurking. Please do not hesitate to inform me
about it and we will gladly fix it up.
CENTLINE - Draw road center-lines from Rights-Of-Way:
The CENTLINE command is used to create road center lines
from Rights-Of-Ways (ROW). This command adopts a zig-za g
method of digitizing to create road centerlines. The user
picks points in a zig-zag fashion across the right-of-way
causing the
right-of-way to intersect at two points. The mid-point of
the segment intersected by the right-of-way is taken as
the road center line point and the line joining a series
of such centerline points forms the centerline. This
command offers numerous other techniques and options to
have a better control of the road being digitized.
MVOFFSET - Multiple variable polyline segment offset:
The MVOFFSET command allows individual polyline segments
to be offsetted by different user-specified distances. One
of the places where this command can be useful is in
designing lots where each side needs to be offset by
differing amounts to satisfy the frontage, clearance and
other requirements. Once each segment has been offsetted,
they can then be trimmed, extended of filleted as your
need may be. A later release of GeoTools will have the
capability to perform this automatic join and cleanup
operation.

Thank you for your continued support. As always, we
welcome feedback at all times.
