: A new function to export the entire layer tree to KMZ, making it easier to share complex, multi-layered 3D scenes with stakeholders using Google Earth. Summary of 2022 Key Features Primary Benefit Data Explorer Direct search/download from online STAC repositories. GA3D™ / OBJ Support

The standout feature for 2022 was the QT Data Explorer , a tool designed to solve the "access to data" problem.

Fusion of 3D mesh models with terrain for realistic simulations. 3D markers with attachments for improved scene annotation. 3D Georegistration

Released later in the year, Version 8.4.1 introduced , which moved the software beyond just viewing terrain and into the realm of realistic simulation.

: Enhanced tools for Above Ground Level (AGL) analysis, allowing users to calculate heights relative to bare earth models and filter data based on these attributes.

: The new Model Search capabilities allow for more granular parameters when digging through massive local or cached data holdings. Introducing GA3D™: Simulation Meets Precision (v8.4.1)

: The Classification and Extraction tools were optimized to automatically identify ground vs. buildings, extract building outlines, and generate building centroids with minimal manual intervention. Visualization Improvements :

: Instead of manually sourcing files, users can draw an Area of Interest (AOI) on a map to search online STAC API repositories (like the Microsoft Planetary Computer).
