# SDX-Cloud: 2.8.0 - What's New
Summary
SDX-Cloud 2.8.0 makes checkpoint clean-up faster, simplifies the photogrammetry processing options, improves point-cloud accuracy for SDX-4DVision systems that show a timing offset, and adds Spanish.
Key highlights
Delete several checkpoints at once
In the checkpoints area of Measurements in the Infomap, you can now select checkpoints one by one, use Select all to select the checkpoints in the list, and use Deselect all to clear the selection. Delete all selected checkpoints removes everything you selected in one action.
Before anything is deleted, a confirmation shows how many checkpoints are selected. Choose Delete to continue. Checkpoints you did not select are not deleted.
One setting for photogrammetry point cloud quality
Photogrammetry processing now has a single quality setting, Point Cloud Density, with the options Medium and High. It replaces the separate quality options that were stored for organizations, projects, and imports. Your credit cost follows the option you choose.

Better point-cloud accuracy for SDX-4DVision systems with a timing offset
On some SDX-4DVision systems, a small, constant time difference between the position data and the LiDAR scanner can duplicate walls or ground control points in the point cloud, especially on targets far from the system and at higher rotation speeds. SDX-Cloud can now estimate this offset for each scan and correct it during high-resolution processing.
The correction is optional and set per system. A system without it behaves as before. At slow rotation speeds the result matches the uncorrected output.
Spanish is now a supported language
SDX-Cloud now supports Spanish, in addition to the languages added in 2.6.0.

Fixes and improvements
- Checkpoints: Previously, checkpoints could only be deleted one at a time. SDX-Cloud 2.8.0 lets you select several and delete them together after a confirmation.
- Photogrammetry processing: Previously, quality was controlled by separate options. You now choose one Point Cloud Density setting.
- SDX-4DVision accuracy: Previously, a constant timing offset could cause duplicated walls and ground control points at higher rotation speeds. SDX-Cloud can now correct it on systems where it is turned on.
- Languages: Spanish is added to the supported languages.
