Hello, do i need some special options aside from "export model -o model.3d" to enable surface in aven? If i try to enable the surface legs, aven prompts me to open some file... Am 2020-03-26 22:49, schrieb Tarquin Wilton-Jones via Therion:
does anybody know how i can measure the distance from a given station to the surface, when i have a surface model loaded?
I have always done this with Survex's Aven. Export 3D, open in Aven, enable surface legs, click the station, hold mouse over the surface legs. (I do this with either surface survey stations, or surface grid that I prepared with TerrainTool.)
Aside: If you use Survex rather than Therion to export this, the ends of the splays become clickable points in Aven, so you can measure from your highest splay. If you use a 3D exported by Therion, then you cannot click on the splays. Therion does not add the control point at the end of each splay (I have filed a bug for that). _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk https://mailman.speleo.sk/listinfo/therion
