perhaps one alternative would be to implement shapefile support and to use gdarwarp and/or gdal_translate to create kml. But I don't have any experience with the kml format.
I have forgotten, shapefiles are also already implemented in the last developement snapshot (including user defined object attributes) ;) export map|model -fmt esri should create a directory with shapefiles for different shapes. If you have georeferenced data, also associated .prj files are created. Tested on free QGIS and ArcExplorer. I am just not able to display 3D triangle strips. S.
But shapefile would be a nice link to the gis world!

As this is quite a nice way of presenting cave surveys, perhaps a Google tile generator would be a good add on for Therion. The advantage of building the renderer into Therion would be that the overlay could be drawn separately for each Google Zoom level to achieve a good line width and text size.
Hmmm. Just one problem. Therion it self does not have any build-in bitmap generator. All maps are generated as vector PDF. And generation of bitmaps from PDF is very tricky (currently only Acrobat reader is able to render these PDF files 100% correct).
I am well informed in the areas of coordinate systems and map projections and able to program in C++. With some guidance I might be able to help with the coding of such an extension.
I have tried to generate Google Earth's KML files from therion and it seems to work (scrap outlines for maps, centerline for model, try latest developement snapshot). All you need is to have georeferenced cave data (see "Coordinate Systems" in thbook). Then just
export model -fmt kml
will generate .kml file readable by Google Earth.
If somebody will create a good rasterizer script for PDF files generated by therion (using ghostscript or acroread), there is no problem for us to add export of long-lat coordinates together with PDF file to be used by this script.
