> Somebody has sent me a project folder which contains one huge survey (6k+) made with Pocket Topo. It seems they had only partial knowledge on how to survey a cave of this size and only limited experience of Therion so the whole thing is a bit weird. I said I would attempt to sort it out. Andrew fixed one issue with the data which has moved us forward but my question now is how to proceed.
> If I compile I can get .3d and .lox output which seems to work fine but the pdf output fails with a load of complaints. Looks like a size thing to me but having never seen this before I'm not sure.
> To me the survey needs breaking up but again I am not sure of the best way to do this, can some of you clever chaps have a look and possibly offer advise please.
> Be warned the th2 is difficult to handle my machine takes 3-4 mins just to load it and 2mins to refresh if I adjust the zoom.
> The guys who collected the data spent an awful long time doing so and are obviously keen to use this data as redoing the survey is not an option.
