Thank you for mentioning TopoDroid, this could be a very good solution in fact.

You are right, in fact when I tested the drawing tablet this is how I drew some lines. It was a bit like doing pointillism - especially on long walls. It certainly works, it may just be a little impractical when the cave is very long perhaps... Maybe it is just a matter of practicing.

Thank you

Sorry, I do not know about whether you can draw lines like that in
XTherion. However, you can in TopoDroid. It creates lines with loads of
line points, and no Bezier curves.

Then you open it in XTherion, right click the line, select "Edit line" -
"Convert to curve". XTherion will turn it from a series of points into a
Bezier curve.

So if you could find a way to create a set of dots instead of Bezier
curves, then XTherion can handle the second part of your request.
Perhaps by tapping repeatedly as you "draw" your stroke. Just make sure
you do not create any drag handles, because if you do then Therion
cannot create a curve from the line.
