You may do it in the same way in therion (not in the cave on cheap  
comp) - check wiki. In the moment you have your surveying data in .th  
file and generate map using simple default thconfig you will receive  
the polygon map. If you add LRUD data and generate .xvi file you will  
receive polygon+rectangles in map editor as background image and you  
may simple add only passage contours and generate very fast the  
"first shot" map.

If there are any older surveys and sketches you may use them in  
therion and add only new surveyed data.
