Could there be an ‘extend stop 7’, whereby the algorithm stops extending regardless of the direction and branch from which station 7 is traversed?

In the diagram below it seems like station 7 could conceptually be encountered from station 6, 8 or 11.

Would the ‘stop’ be invoked every time 7 is encountered, or just the first time?

Seems like ‘extend stop station’ could be problematic or unpredictable, especially in live projects where new surveys are regularly added.

I like the idea of ‘extend stop leg’, but probably not ‘extend stop station’.

Hi Bruce,

extend stop 8 7

would mean, that if the algorithm reaches station 7 from station 8, it stops extending, turns back, and continues from some previous stations. If the algorithm will go the opposite way (11->7->8), extend stop 8 7 will be ignored.

And to the general question: the b) is correct. Therion reads all extend statements, assign these options to oriented legs and stations, and then processes them.
