[Therion] Drawing the map of a vertical cave

[Bruce Mutton]

Hi Jean-Florent

As Tarquin said!

However solutions I have used to good effect...

 

If your data is pencil and paper, then printing and sketching on paper
(while viewing models, plan and elevation on-screen simultaneously) then
scanning those sketches can be an easier way of untangling.

Or break the survey into small sections of survey that only minimally
overlap, and export one at a time for eventual sketching.

 

If your data is paperless, then the best option is to anticipate this while
in the cave - if it is becoming hard to decipher in the cave on your device,
then it won't be better in XTherion.

In this case, create a new survey file.

 

In both cases, limit the scope of your xvi only to the individual survey.

Good luck!

Bruce

 

PS: Perhaps a key thing to remember is that if the plan is becoming
difficult, an elevation drawing will be a better way of conveying to viewers
an understanding of the cave.



(An example of a 5 or 6 level shaft spiral that is somewhat OK in plan)
