v 3.76
« on: May 02, 2009, 12:14:19 PM »
I must say that elevation caching and the features that it enables are very cool.

Since I broke my arm on my last (duh!) ride 2 days ago I have been playing with TF a bit ("virtual riding") and have run into a few things.
For example, I created a track consisting of two points with the intention of filling it in by "adding" points using the spline function. The result was intended to provide a nice cross-section along the line between the start and end. However when I right click on the initial 2 point track, and select "simplify/split/spline track" TF crashes with the error message "Run time error '380' Invalid property value"

The crash is avoided if I add a single mid point using the "select point" / Insert key method.

So now I have a 3 point straight line track that I want to fill with a bunch of other points to be able to show a profile other than a single stair step. There seem to be no settings of the "interpolate" function which will add points to this simple linear track.

Also, twice now I have run into a scenario while drawing a track where the draw tool seems to become stuck in "drag" mode, as if the left mouse button were being held down when it is not. I am not quite sure what steps are required to reproduce this behavior, although I also note that the wonderful "e" key shortcut for removing the last segment was not working just before that happened. However when TF was closed and restarted the track drawing returned to normal.

Thanks for the bug reports.  I'll take a look at those issues -- esp. the 2 track spline function should be an easy fix.

Glad you like the elevation features.  I plan to do more with it, too!

Hey Scott,

Great improvement, the elevation storage. Perhaps you could arrange for this to work with the 'load maps' tool. Or can I do the same thing by say just viewing a 3D image of a very large area?

Haven't used this version much, but no issues so far,

Larry

I plan to add it to the load maps tool.

Just panning around gets you the 3D data, but there are multiple levels, so if you are zoomed out quite far you won't be getting the finest detail.

In the meantime, I can give a base tileset (largest possible) that still stays on the finest DEM size if anyone is interested.

That would be a good idea, there isnt a need for lesser 3d detail at zoom out?

I finally got the password thing fixed, I guess you changed you site? Had to do a resend of password to enter thesame one again! lol
