[Therion] LRUD data

Graham,
I've got the centerline and LRUD data all together in the same block, as in
"data normal station left right up down newline length compass clino" and
immediately before it "units length feet" but it still treats my input
numbers at meters instead of feet (for the LRUD). Olly's suggestion to use
"units left right up down feet" works perfectly to get Therion to treat the
numbers as feet.
Thanks,
JP

Can I assume that you have separate blocks of data for the centreline
and the LRUD? If so then you need to enter the "units length feet" line
again after the "data dimensions station left right up down" line.
Alternatively just take all your measurements in metres ;-)
You are right, however, that Therion determines depth by the difference
between the highest and lowest stations. It is difficult to see how else
it would work. It is a trivial matter to mark your highest and lowest
points as stations.
