Better: "cave" or "surface" is superior to survey. m. On Jun 15, 2012, at 10:10 AM, Martin Sluka <martinsluka@mac.com> wrote: You are right, Bruce. This is good example. But in fact there were 3 or better 4 surveying trips in this surveying trip. I such case it is natural to divide one day survey trip to particulate surveys. ;) m.

The original idea of Therion is that "survey" represents one survey trip. … So it is not the best idea to manipulate with surveys. I agree Martin, one survey file, one trip. However we just did a survey of three small multi-entrance caves and overland surveys over a couple of days. In hindsight we were a bit messy in practice as we surveyed into one cave and out of another entrance and into another cave, then back out to the first cave etc etc. What I found was that Therion could not (or I could not get Therion to) adequately resolve the statistics for the caves individually until I split some of those surveys into two or three. It also would not separate surface survey statistics from cave statistics (but I think that is a bug). Statistics are resolved correctly for maps but not for survey-list. So as a last resort I cut the survey trips into multiple surveys/files. If I had drawn the scraps before doing this I would have had a difficult job patching it all back together. An unusual situation perhaps, but one where manipulation of the survey files was able to lay a better foundation on which to build scraps and maps. Bruce
