2. Nebula 2.1 – Most important new Features

AWS (Amazon Web Services) Compatibility

What it’s for

As promised, we are continuously expanding the number of cloud services that can be connected to Nebula. Due to strong demand, this update introduces support for AWS.

How it works 

In the video, we show step by step how to connect your AWS account to Nebula – even without extensive IT knowledge.
The short version? Just follow the instructions laid out in Nebula.

New Download Manager

Selection-in-Nebula-Download-Manager

What it’s for

Our new Download Manager allows you to download orthophotos and 3D points directly in the browser – a long-awaited feature. This allows you not only to visualize results, but also to easily share them.

How it works 

Click on the Download Manager icon in the menu at the bottom left. Select the desired orthophotos or 3D points in the new window. Click on “ALL” to select all available files at once. Simply click on Download – done.

Height and Cluster Navigation

What it’s for

To make navigation in Nebula even more intuitive, scan positions can now be filtered and displayed by height or cluster.

How it works 

The video includes a detailed explanation.
The short version? Simply filter by height or cluster and show or hide scan positions as needed.

"Display Range" Option in Bubble Views

What it’s for

The perfect complement to the new height and cluster navigation! The “Display Range” function allows scan positions to be shown or hidden based on their distance from your current viewpoint in the Bubble View.

How it works 

Simply select the distance from which scan positions should be displayed via the menu in the top right corner.

Measurements & POIs in Bubble Views

What it’s for

Another great enhancement for the Bubble View: measurements and POIs can now also be created directly within the Bubble View.

How it works 

Download the coordinates, then use Ctrl + mouse click to measure distances and 3D points.
Of course, POIs can also be enriched with additional links and documentation.
