[Therion] Incorrect depth generated for legend

I recently used Therion to produce a map for a short horizontal cave. The
cave is only a little over 100' long and the floor is almost level from one
end to the other. The "depth" information that Therion generated for the
legend is 3 feet even though some of the passage in the cave is 5 feet high.
I'm assuming that therion uses the vertical difference between the highest
station and the lowest station to generate the depth number without regard
to LRUD data, is this correct? And does anybody have a suggestion for how I
can easily get the correct depth output onto my map? I can see how this
could be a significant issue if you had a cave with little vertical extent
except for a high dome. You would have to shoot a shot to a station at the
top of the dome to capture it's vertical extent in the legend data.
Also, I experimented with using "walls on" to see if it would get Therion
to use the LRUD data to determine depth. It didn't, but I found that
Therion is reading my LRUD data as meters instead of feet. I use the command
"units length feet" before the data but seems to only work for the tape
measurement. Am I missing something?
Sorry if these questions are a little basic, but I've still got a lot to
learn about Therion.
Much thanks,
JP McLendon
