Changes in update 3.17 (released December 12, 2011, includes update 3.16): Fixed "uninvertable matrix" error that could occur when the deck railing height is set to less than 9". Fixed to preserve viewport background when deactivated (applies to Windows XP only). Fixed Pools, Decks and Deck Stairs to preserve materials when converting to custom models. Fixed bug in software renderer that could cause pictures and plants to render darker than expected. Fixed plants and pictures to properly cast shadows when "receive shadows" option is disabled. Fixed Pool Decking 'Calculate' button which wasn't working when "Auto clip to pools" option is disabled. Fixed memory leak that could cause an error when publishing large designs to Client Dream. Increased maximum application memory usage from 2 GB to 4 GB on 64-bit systems. Fixed the page setup dialog to display the correct metric page sizes. Photo: Fixed to use the correct program directory when multiple Realtime Landscaping products are installed. Photo: Fixed to preserve Angle Snap setting when saving/loading design. Changes in update 3.16 (released May 31, 2011): Added Golf Equipment, located in Accessories. Added Glass Panel Fences with matching gates, located through the Panel Fence tool. Added new Deck Balusters, accessible through the Deck tool. Added Residential Solar Panels, located in Accessories, under the "Other" category. Added Golf Flag Symbols, accessible through the Symbol object. Enhanced infinity edge water to flow over corners. Decreased infinity edge water flow rate for increased realism. (Note: The flow rate can be adjusted via options.ini. See "Advanced Options Readme.txt" for details.) Improved shadow quality on sloped terrain. Increased min/max terrain elevation from 100' to 150'. Increased max custom model elevation to 150'. Fixed retaining walls to properly calculate their height when elevated and placed on a slope. Fixed panel fence gate styles that had a gap at the bottom. They now all properly line up with corresponding panel fencing. Increased maximum size of the Plant Legend object. Area Grader changes: Fixed artifacts that could occur with multiple adjacent area graders. Improved outline quality. Improved compatibility with older landscapes. When creating Boxes, Cylinders, and Extrusion objects, the creation points now snap to elevated terrain. Modified the Extrusion object's outline to remain attached to the object's base instead of conforming to the terrain. Important: Due to improvements to the terrain system, objects in imported landscapes may require slight elevation adjustment. Fixed rare cases where temporary files could conflict when editing multiple landscapes at once. Fixed cases where temporary files were not always being deleted. Added "-appendlog" command line option for preserving log file between runs. (By default, the log file is deleted each time the application is run.) Photo: Fixed Mask object to remove small gap that could appear on right side of picture.
