[Therion] Scaling issues with .3d files

[Philip Balister]

Olly,

Just for your info the 3d file Philip Schuchardt is working with has the 
coordinate system for the cave set up so the station coordinates are 
also the UTM coordinates. This makes overlays easy with geo-referenced 
surface maps. This would explain why the x,y numbers are large.
