Implementing SS3D support for bathymetry is futile because it wasn't designed for that!
The problem is that the sensor doesn't have a built-in INS, and the SL3 format doesn't store any roll, pitch, or heave data. Post-processing from SL3 is impossible. The only option is to record navigation data in a separate file and then synchronize it... and Reefmaster doesn't have a Patch Test function because it's not designed for post-processing MBES data.
Professional hydrographic software SonarWiz has implemented SS3D support, but it doesn't...
So maybe in the future, it would be better to implement support for a simple commercial multibeam echosounder and Patch Test?

100% agree. It's not impossible, but you need to record and synchronise extermal IMU data to make it worthwhile. Any sort of pitch or roll, even of small magnitude, makes the data more or less useless without correction. Given this and the fact that the SS3D module is discontinued means that for us it isn't worth the effort - meaning, would it provide enough extra revenue to be worth the considerable investment (almost certainly not). There are some third party tools that I am aware of that attempt to perform these corrections, so the best course of action is to use one of those and import corrected data into RM.

Yep - still on course for beta shortly and full release probably June(ish). I will try and get some screenshots up here soon to give an idea of what is changing (and what isn't).

Here are some logs from my Garmin Panoptics PS70 sensor. It might have more than just 2D sonar.
Maybe it has RealVü 3D and LiveVü or Triple-Beam.
Maybe there is some data from a multibeam sonar, so that it can then be used to build maps directly from the recording log, rather than extracting data from an interpolated quickdraw
