Trimble Novapoint Help has moved to help.trimble.com!
This update also embeds an update of Quadri for Windows.
Release date: 27.08.2026
Visit our pages regarding compatibility breaks and known issues for more info on those topics.
Expanded Project Ownership Support: Previously, QfW could not be used in projects where the Shared Object Model was not owned by an account with a Quadri Business Premium license. This restriction has now been removed. QfW now supports all projects with an activated Shared Object Model, regardless of the owner's license tier. Access is now determined solely by the license tier of the signed-in user. This improvement relates to the Desktop Application Access section in the Simplified Shared Object Model Activation in Trimble Connect product update bulletin.

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 and we are continously improving the support in our tools, but they are in BETA mode and not intended for production.
FIXED: When creating Road- and Railway tasks in a Quadri.IFC model, the local Spatial Breakdown Structure (SBS) for the design tasks can be defined in the task Settings dialog. This functionality is now been improved:
- All the mandatory attribute values for the dummy SBS-entity that "picks up" all the "left over" objects created by the task are now automatically set.
- The entity names are shown in the SBS.
- It is now possible to define and create IfcGeoModel and aggregated IfcEarthworksFill entities in the SBS.
FIXED: For Road- and Railway design tasks: The selected terrain tasks must not be reserved anymore to do the task building.
FIXED: The Sub Surface tool doesn't crash anymore and handle the generated IfcMaterial correctly.
With the release of Novapoint 2026 it will only be compatible with Trimble Drawing 2026.
For Novapoint 2026.5 we recommend to use Trimble Drawing 2026 v.3524 for best compatibility.
FIXED: Some cases of crash when closing dialog
ENHANCEMENT: Roadbed in situations without detailed pavement
ENHANCEMENT/FIX: Surface edges not ending on the correct height when using Alignment as Surface Edge (related to situations where median changes mid-calculation due to balanced median, inherit and other)
FIXED: Cases where calculation could stall when not using Soil 1 as the material
FIXED: Cases of duplicate structure layers where volumes were ~0m3
FIXED: Case where boundaries did not start sharply when the dialog started with a BREAK.
NOTE: Most updates in NP Road also applies to NP Railway.
FIXED: Changed column header from "Insufficient cant" to "Cant deficiency"
FIXED: Insert inside switch in curve, element after the radius is now a curve with same radius as the main track.
FIXED: Finnish report Horizontal Alignment by Element, column headings are now unmerged.
