Trimble Novapoint Help
This update also embeds an update of Quadri for Windows.
Release date: 27.06.2025
Visit our pages regarding compatibility breaks and known issues for more info on those topics.
For release notes related to Quadri for Windows go here.
Finnish market:
Conversion rules for InfraBIM Breaklines to both Road and Railway have been updated with the proper infracoding. Conversion rule for Railway has removed the LinearElement, and an other conversionrule (Rautatiegeometria, Raideleveys 1.524m) is to be used as a substitute.
NOTE: As part of Novapoint 2025.4 an IFC Feature Catalogue is released on Quadri for Windows.
When starting Quadri with the Novapoint extension it does no discriminate on the feature catalogue in use on the project.
Because of this, Novapoint will be available on these projects also.
For Novapoint we have some templates prepared, but they are in BETA mode and not intended for production.
Trimble Assistant for Quadri for Windows - now also includes an extended assistant to utilize the Novapoint Help pages.
Novapoint 2025.4 will ask for you to use Trimble Drawing 2025 v. 3433. However, continuing to use the v. 3419 should still be OK and cause no problems.
The version 3433 brings with it minor improvement and fixes.
Support for Novapoint using the 2026 version of AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Map 3D.
Autocad, Civil 3D, Map 3D
REMOVED: F1 help for Novapoint tools in the CAD ribbons in AutoDesk products.
ENHANCEMENT/FIXED: Models with many illustration objects would experience slowness when scrolling through the sections.
FIXED: Model could fail to add denser calculation intervals when Alignment as surface edge had an arc at the start/end of alignment
FIXED: The function 'Balanced median'.
ENHANCEMENT/FIXED: The junction wizard in the road task is now capable for calculating junction where there before was a technical limitation in length of the roads and number of roadsurfaces.
ENHANCEMENT/FIXED: We have done a code review and changes to produce more consistent and correct results. This is an improvement related to both normal and detailed pavement description and the inner slope.
ENHANCEMENT/FIXED: Sodding functionality has had rework so that it works better than previous versions. The situation with missing sodding when using innerslope is fixed.
FIXED: When decimal separator in excel and Windows were not the same there would be a minor deviation in the quantity values for 'Rock less than...'
Alignment style configurator
FIXED: In some languages making a new alignment style caused a crash. Copying and using existing alignment styles was not affected.
Distance between alignments
FIXED: Measurement between parallell alignments had issues.
With the large rework in road pavement calculation, this also positively affects the calculation of superstructure of railway. Together with this rework we have improved the railway ballast calculations, but to get access you need to convert your railwaymodel when using it in NP2025.4.
What we did:
ballast slope surface is moved to surface 2.19, instead of being on 1.03 and 2.05 - this surface now also updates the width to match the formation level
surface 3.01 used for formation width now automatically updates to keep the formation width set in the wizard - also allowing you to locally switch this to be a user-defined width
ballast layers are more flexible so that the layers can be adjusted more manually, when needed.

FIXED: Cant deficiency could have deviating values between elements in S-curves.
FIXED: Cant deficiency would be wrong when a negative cant was applied (negative cant is only available when allowing for this in the alignment design settings dialog)
FIXED: Gradient (dH/L) and GradientSpeed (dh/dt) would be incorrect when applying cant on straight line elements (cant on straight line elements is only available when allowing for this in the alignment design settings dialog)
Switch
FIXED: Avoid crash and fixing tangency issue when switch radius is opposite of the alignment radius
CSV alignment report
FIXED: Did not include the KM stationing when they were in use.
FIXED: Cross section drawing for AutoCAD
FIXED: Not all pipes presented in Cross section preview
