[Therion] Making projected elevations

[Martin Sluka]

SexyTopo should be out with calibration too yet.

> Alas windows devices are on the way out, so I am hopeful that SexyTopo will be imbued with the simplicity, flexibility and speed of use of PocketTopo - it is not there yet, but it is looking promising.
> Topodroid has many nice features that I wish PocketTopo had, but apart from calibrating distos well, it does not have as smooth a workflow or play as nicely with Therion as it could/should. However if you tend to have small caves or short survey trips, then your opinion of Topodroid over TopParser might be comparatively better.

The splays can sometimes be difficult to interpret as with PocketTopo you have no option to sketch a projected elevation whilst surveying but I find this much easier/quicker than the method Bruce suggested.
