Subset editor is now equipped to allow for the simultaneous editing of multiple point clouds. New visualization opportunities have been added, such as custom coloring based on non-elevation data sources and a more flexible use of reference data for context. The interactive experience in the Subset editor has been improved with a move to shared interface settings, controls, and properties.

Other major enhancements include new tools for working with raster surfaces, which are referenced to vertical and inclined planes through the Engineering Analysis Module (EAM). The ability to drape higher resolution imagery (e.g. back scatter) over elevation models in both 2D and 3D has been introduced. There has been a substantial coordinate reference system modification, which incorporates the implementation of EPSG Geodetic Parameter dataset. Support for Oracle 12c has been enabled as well as an overall emphasis on server specific performance including faster server combine processes.

Powered by the CSAR engine and backed by proven relational database technology, the new version 4.2 of CARIS Bathy DataBASE delivers a scalable solution for the management of elevation data. Users can manipulate, analyze, and compile the data necessary for creating bathymetric and cartographic products with confidence.
