0New functionality Add a fall body counter to the histogram chart. Changes Different look to the interface and scene background colour. Less actions are recorded in the bottom text box. The expiry date before a new update has to be uploaded from my website is now 1 July 2018. Discussion: Use GEM4D to create a surface mesh from a strings file Trajec3D can only read triangulation/mesh/solid files, but GEM4D can read a far greater range of files. If a pit shell is provided as a

The previous version of Trajec3D expires on 1 July 2017, and Version 1.7.1.4 will expire on 1 January 2018. The new version also has new features requested by users, such as a histogram counter and a fall body run-out distance calculation tool. Many thanks to PdG, JD and FB. New functionality "Ribbon => Analysis and Results => Runout distance" is a tool that calculates the perpendicular fall body run-out distances from a line drawn by two pick points. The distances are also s

Trajec3D seems to work flawlessly in all countries now. The previous version will expire on 1 April 2017, and the latest version on 1 July 2017. As mentioned in the previous post, Trajec3D can now be downloaded in two different formats: Installation file that automatically installs all potential support files that could be required. ZIP-file of the folder containing all the require files (except the support files). Unzip the file and copy the directory to any location and man

I think the issues when running Trajec3D under certain regional settings are eventually fully resolved, and was a bit more challenging that expected. Please let me know if you still have issues, but all should be good. Trajec3D can now be downloaded in two different formats: Installation file that automatically installs all potential support files that could be required. ZIP-file of the folder containing all the require files (except the support files). Unzip the file and cop

Users from Norway (and occasionally Finland) had issues running Trajec3D with their native language settings. This is probably due to a custom of using a decimal comma instead of a decimal point in numbers (10,00 vs 10.00). I changed Trajec3D to be language and region insensitive, which should sort out the issue. The language setting error seems to only affect Trajec3D, and not GEM4D or PhotoCoreLog. I think the physics library used in Trajec3D was compiled for a specific lan

Apologies for making the Trajec3D download available a day late, I was away on annual leave and had trouble generating the installation file on the travel computer. This version updates Trajec3D to the ribbon based interface, and required many coding changes - please let me know ASAP if I broke any existing functionality. New functionality Added an option to delete all the active fall bodies. Changes A ribbon interface replaces the toolbar previously used for the main menu. T

A minor bug fix update. Changes The new version will expire on 1 January 2016. Bug fixes The program occasionally bomb out when all trajectory paths were saved out with "Top toolbar => Save => All trajectory path information" - fixed. The fall body counter did not always update correctly - fixed. The histogram chart did not record the fall bodies that continued to outside the physics area - fixed. #Trajec3D

A Trajec3D Manual is now available for download from the Trajec3D webpage, directly underneath the software installation download. It is a working document, and will be updated in future. The target group for this guideline is site based geotechnical engineers, with the purpose to provide an introductory manual to rockfall modelling with Trajec3D. Only basic concepts are covered and further reading is recommended for engineers who want to pursue the subject in detail. This gu

A few minor bug fixes after the major update in Version 1.6.3.0. #Trajec3D

I had been a while since the last major update of Trajec3D. Due to a considerable number of requests for additions, and requirements for my site projects, Version 1.6.3.0 contains many improvements. Some functions had to be rewritten, and small structural changes were required, so please let me know ASAP if I broke any of the existing functionality. Trajec3D is now also compiled in dotNET Version 4.0, so make sure that version is loaded on the target computer. New functionali

No changes were made from the previous version, and because the development on Trajec3D is currently slow, I changed the expiry cycle to 6 months. #Trajec3D

A small update largely to change the expiry date to 1 January 2015. An interaction causing between "Section" and "Flip" occasionally caused the program to freeze and were corrected. #Trajec3D

Version 1.6.2.3 contains an addition requested by many users, and a change to make the interface functions consistent before starting on the "Trajec3D - how do I navigate the interface" video (see the "Videos" page for more information on training videos). New functionality When selecting "Mat1 => Load a DXF pit triangulation (Mat1)" in the top toolbar and selecting the file name, three options are now available on the "Coordinates" pop-up form: 1) Polygon normals are forced

Previously used Visual Studio 2008 and migrated Trajec3D to Visual Studio 2013. The upgrade required a few changes and some things could have been broken in the process. I tested on a few computers and all was good with the testing, but please let me know if you experience any issues as soon as possible. The expiry date for Version 1.6.2.2 is 1 Oct 2014. #Trajec3D

A reasonable number of changes were made to the latest version of Trajec3D and some could have bugs, although I tested them reasonably thoroughly. As always, please let me know if you pick up anything that has unexpected behaviour: Pressing the Ctrl-button on the keyboard now temporary de-activates any action to allow scene changes with the mouse during actions (without first deactivating the action). A fence can now be build continuously by pressing the Shift-button on the k

Version 1.6.2 can now manage multiple fences as required by users. Apologies for the time it took to implement this functionality, but some logic changes were required in the code. I considered many implementation approaches, and are open to ideas to improve (or even change) the current implementation. The approach I settled on for now are: #Trajec3D

I bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1, and some of the new security features forces a change to the installation folder. Keeping the software installations under "C:|Program Files" now require administrator rights, and will complicate installations on work computers. I decided to go with "C:|BasRock|XYZ", which will keep all BasRock software packages in a single directory. Please uninstall previous software versions manually before installing the latest versions, this can be

Please manually uninstall any version prior to Version 1.6.0.0 from your computer, as Version 1.6.1.0 will not automatically uninstall these versions. I decided to change the installation directory to standardise the the installation folders for all BasRock software. Do this with either: Control Panel => Programs => Uninstall "Trajec3D Beta". In Windows Explorer, double click on "C:\Program FilesTrajec3D\BetaUninstall.exe" On 64-bit computers "C:\Program Files (x86)\Trajec3D

Trajec3D Version 1.6.0.0 did not download correctly due to a hyperlink error, thanks for the feedback on this. The link is now corrected, so please download Trajec3D again if you experienced troubles the past few days. #Trajec3D

Please manually uninstall any previous Beta version from your computer, as Version 1.6.0.0 will not automatically uninstall the previous versions as I decided to change the installation directory.
