VDATUM routine for RTK TIDES can now determine a value if less than four nodes of a cell are populated.
In early versions, if one of the corners of a VDATUM cell had no value ( ), SURVEY would not generate a VDATUM result.
Now it can work with only one corner with a value!

14. SURVEY - 4 You can show: Check ‘Device Offsets’ in the Vessels window
Individual sensor positions (red)
Vessel reference point (green)
Vessel tracking point (blue)

32. TIN MODEL - 3 New TIN vs CHN Volume Options Output ‘Fill’ values
Output ‘Overdepth’ and ‘Contour Overdepth’ for all CHNs
Group data in report by:
Faces
Zones,
Sections
Zones and Sections

33. TIN MODEL - 4
Pre-modeling rotations to get better detail on vertical faces
Before creating the TIN, your data is projected onto a 2D surface. This can create problems when you have vertical walls, as data points with vastly different z-values get projected near the same point.
By rotating the model before projecting it onto the 2D surface, you can get a better model in vertical areas.

34. TIN MODEL – 4 (con’t.) With 3D Adjustment Without 3D Adjustment
In Modify – 3D TIN, rotate your tin so that all data points will project onto a 2D surface. Then re-generate the TIN
