Dear all, I am mostly writing to Therion developers, as I am not able to propose a valid code modification myself. For a large project (Gouffre Jean-Bernard + Gouffre Mirolda, France), we are exporting the surveys as ESRI shapefiles to build a GIS. For that, we also are developing a style sheet to reproduce the Therion symbology inside QGIS. It permits us to have the complete survey database on our phones/tablets in the field as a GIS project (we are currently using Mergin Maps app with a custom server). For those interested in, please, see pages 89 - 95 of the report https://groupe-speleo-vulcain.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2023_Rapport_Ex... <https://groupe-speleo-vulcain.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2023_Rapport_Expe.pdf> (in French). But, there are some points that quite problematics/time consuming, and that may (?) be improved directly in Therion with the ESRI/shp export command: for the shapefile points2d.shp, the Therion feature corresponding to the « -value » option is not exported. For us, this is a problem to render the point « height », as the value of the height does not exists in the shp —> If in a next Therion release the -value option could be added to the attribut table of the point2d.shp, it would be great! in our GIS, we want to get the altitude information for at least station points. This information is not included in the attribut tables (points2d.shp and stations3d.shp). To get it, we have to reprocess the station3d.shp with a python script to add the altitude value in the attribut table after each new Therion compilation —> Is it possible to add the station altitude value in the attribut table directly from Therion shp export? The lines and areas shapefiles produced by Therion export are not limited to the inside of the cave (i.e. inside of the outline), even if they have the -clip on option. We need to use a custom Python script to cut the lines and areas with the outline shapefile as a mask, and this is absolutely not tolerant even for a very minor topologic error. —> Is it possible to modify the ESRI/shp exportation function from Therion to natively masked the lines and areas that have the -clip on option and that are outside of the cave outline ? Is that possible to implement these features in a future Therion release? Thanks a lot, Cheers, Xavier

This would be interesting to see, have you shared it anywhere? Although I do not know if my knowledge of GIS is good enough to use it. I've been playing with QGIS. I also notice that geospatial PDF (PDF2.0) exists. I don't think this is part of Therion, or if it is I cannot get it to work. Seems to have the surveys at whatever 0,0 of the coordinate system I set. It would be good if the georeferencing part of PDF could be enabled. No idea how hard that would be, but it would be an easy way for the end user to be able to add plans to GIS and the like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geospatial_PDF It appears hat this gets confused with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoPDF Which I cannot say surprises me!

Hi Andrew, No, we haven’t shared it for now as the style sheet is still in development and not clean enough for sharing. This is in my Todo list for some months to finalize this style sheet to share it to the community ! For sure, we will inform the Therion list users as soon this is available ! Cheers, Xavier
