Changes for version 4.0.801 This version fixes some bugs and adds a few features. MAPS AND STANDS • Option to auto-detect and exclude non-forested areas via comparison of imagery and lidar layers • Find a property by street address when starting a project from the parcel map • Stand vertices snap to the parcel they touch • Edit Plots: tap the map to place a plot that has no location, tap a dot to delete one • Stand labels toggle; editable stand numbers; name, acres, forested and sampling at the top of each stand; a confirmed custom acreage drives the reports • Custom maps stay available offline; cached Photo and Topo tiles draw in the right place past the deepest zoom TALLY AND FIELDWORK • Tallying the first tree far from a planned plot offers to move the plot there (off by default, with a distance tolerance) • Snags and CWD: copy a recorded row and edit it afterwards; layout now matches trees • Manual tree numbers editable in the tree list, keeping their gaps • Species sort A–Z by custom name; regeneration plots add 1/250 acre, with each plot’s radius shown • GPS tracking stops itself half an hour after you leave the parcel, for anyone who forgets at the end of the day REPORTS, VOLUMES AND EXPORTS • 100% tallies are treated as a census across stocking tables, reports and exports • Multi-product trees can count whole in product tables (a new Report Settings choice); every product shows unless you turn it off • Volume engine: logs are no longer cut past the stem’s tip, calls that don’t fit the stem are flagged, a species form-class edit recalculates saved volumes, and Doyle Tons, Scribner Tons and International Tons scale board feet by the named rule before converting to tons • Shapefile export: UTF-8 text so accents and apostrophes survive, a new every-tree table with expansion factors and net volumes, and cruise results on the stand and plot layers PROJECTS AND TEAM • Current Projects ticks on the Projects screen, synced across your devices; projects filed under client folders • “Last synced” on each project, with a Check now button • Admins can lock template sections; everyone else sees them read-only RELIABILITY • Tallies sync as deltas instead of uploading the whole project — much faster, far less data • A settings edit survives a reload
Forest Metrix is a timber cruising app built by foresters, for foresters. Plan the cruise on the map, tally in the woods with or without signal, then analyze the inventory. Print or send the forestry report from the same app. IN THE WOODS • All the cruise methods: prism plots at any BAF, fixed-area plots of any size, double sampling (big BAF) and 100% tally. • Dot Tally: tally trees the way you would on paper dot-tally sheets, only faster. • Voice Tally: call out species, diameter and product and keep your eyes on the tree. Recognition runs even offline. • A tally set up your way: diameters by button or keypad to a tenth of an inch, heights by keypad, pick list, or logs and half-logs, products by height or log-by-log. • Custom tree, plot and stand fields for cut/leave, crown ratio, regeneration, snags, ground cover and more. • Field camera: plot photos stamped with location, elevation, bearing and slope. MAPS AND GPS • Boundaries, stands, plots and your GPS track on one map. • Lay out a cruise grid by spacing and bearing, or let a target sampling error tell you how many plots you need. • Walk plot to plot on satellite, topo or street maps saved to the device before you lose signal. • Tax parcel lines and NRCS soils, and your own georeferenced PDF maps used offline. • Waypoints, tracks and stand lines, with GPS precision you can tune against battery life. THE FORESTRY MATH, NO BLACK BOX • Scribner, Doyle and International ¼″ and ⅛″; board feet, cubic feet, cords and tons, gross and net. • Taper models: Mesavage & Girard, Clark & Souter, Behre's hyperbola. • Sampling statistics for every stand: standard error, confidence intervals and the plots still needed. • Stumpage values by species and product; stocking guides, relative density, carbon and biomass. REPORTS • Summary charts, stand and stock tables, diameter distributions, product and value summaries, tree lists. • Print to PDF or export to Excel, KML, Shapefile and GeoJSON, plus SILVAH, NED-3 and FVS formats. OFFICE AND TEAM • Everything is stored on the device and syncs to the cloud on its own. Pick it up in any web browser back at the office. • Share a project with other foresters as an editor or a viewer. A Forest Metrix account is required to sign in. Feature availability depends on account plan.
