Removing the lines between survey stations created for surface features
Dear therion mailing list, Does anyone know how to remove the lines that appear between survey stations used for surveying around surface features? I ran survey legs around dolines and pools, leading to a main entrance where the actual cave starts. I used the "flags surface" command to remove the surface stations from the main cave station sequence and added them to their own "surface features" scrap in the drawing, but when the drawing gets compiled, these surface stations are all joined by densely dotted lines, as opposed to the short survey lines between cave survey stations indicating the direction of the legs. Apart from this, the surface feature drawing all works pretty well, using the line type "border" with "clip" set to "off". I'd like the temporary survey station symbols to remain, so they appear as the stations within the cave. Best, David E
Hi David,

symbol-hide group surface-centreline This also hides the stations. If you want those, you need to put them back: symbol-show point station And then you can also hide the temporary stations, so only the fixed/painted/permanent stations are shown: symbol-hide point station:temporary The statements are interpreted in the order you write them, so put the most generic one first, then get more specific. As far as I remember, you cannot choose to show/hide only surface temporary stations while showing only the underground painted ones (you can only do the whole surface centreline at once, while the stations relate to surface and underground at the same time). Maybe others know of a way though.
Apart from this, the surface feature drawing all works pretty well, using the line type "border" with "clip" set to "off".
I like slope for dolines, and pitch for cliffs. https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/surfacefeatures Cheers, Tarquin
An option could be to overwrite the symbols with empty metapost ones
