These Release Notes describe the new features and changes available in this release of the Trimble Perspective software.

New features and enhancements

Configurable X9 support

Trimble Perspective supports the new configurable Trimble X9 laser scanners. Scan settings will be displayed based on the connected instrument’s license.

Subscription licensing support

An annual term-based license is available to allow Trimble Perspective to be used on multiple devices. Use your Trimble ID account login to access Trimble Perspective on your tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, all with the same license.

Desktop support

Connect a mouse and keyboard to utilize tooltips, keyboard shortcuts, and operate Trimble Perspective on a laptop or desktop.

AI assisted area scan selection

Automatically determine the size of an area scan window by using the new AI assisted option. Simply tap on the object you wish to scan and Trimble Perspective will automatically create the window, sized to the object of interest.

Export measurements in TDX

3D measurements are now included in the TDX export. Measurements will be present in the Production mode of Trimble RealWorks when imported. Supported measurements include 3D Point, 3D Distance, Horizontal Distance (station view), and Vertical Clearance (station view).

Limit box grab handles

All limit box grab handles are visible to make resizing easier.

Labs section

A new section is added to the Settings menu. Labs will contain sneak peeks to new features in future releases. These features are fully tested and available to use but may have further development plans. The currently available development is the ability to change the database location for saved projects. External and network drives are not yet supported.

To access these features, activate your participation in the Trimble Solution Improvement Program. This allows us to track the amount of times a tool or setting is used to help us determine its prioritization for future work. You can also submit feedback to the Trimble Scanning Community Page (link included in the Labs section).
