I'm struggling to output a DXF format map and model from Therion. I've found that the map export does not load into two different DXF viewers, both giving no errors but showing nothing. The model output works, but is 100-times too small (ie the default unit appears to be cm rather than m). Can anyone provide any advice what I might be doing wrong? Many thanks, Ben
Hi Ben, is it right - you give the lenght in meters? Then the distance from point to point is very long? A huge cave? There are Kilometers by some mesurements?

Hi Ben As Markus says, impressive shots for a distoX. Very long if is really in metres. I compiled your example, after commenting out the th2 reference, and it compiles fine, I have attached the .3d, survey list and dxf outputs. They look to faithfully reproduce the data. If I open the dxf in DraftSight, it dimensions the lines exactly as in the .th file. Opening the .dxf files you supplied, I also get no image for o1.dxf, and the dimensions for lines in o1M.dxf are 100x shorter. So there is some problem with your output files that I cannot reproduce by compiling your o1.th and thconfig.dat files.

Hi Bruce, I was using Therion 5.3.11, so will update and try again!

Hi Markus, Apologies, the original file was in metres. I changed it to centimetres wondering if that was the problem. I thought I had included the original file in my email, so sorry for confusion.
