[Therion] ThIDE - a Therion IDE and a structural geology module

[Alex Pologea]

Started a new application a few months ago, initially as a new Therion parser dedicated for extracting measurements from the entire cave survey to continue a prototype desktop tool made some years ago for calculating structural planes. It evolved to an IDE / workbench for Therion projects, an older desire, with semantic editing features including syntax checking and symbol navigation, compilation features, 3D and other embedded viewers, scrap editing via Mapiah, and survey analytics, multi monitor support, plus some experimental features like an AI assistant (local LLM via MCP) and Blender export. It is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS), but serious testing has been done only on Windows and sparsely on Linux. It is now in an alpha dev stage, with an evolving UI and bugs expected.

The structural geology module calculates planes (dip and strike values) for geological structures in caves (joints, fault determined fractures, and bedding planes) have implemented a module in ThIDE.

The original idea was to measure these planes by using a DistoX (or similar laser survey device) to shoot splays on that feature, then to use them to determine a fitting plane. It's a debatable alternative approach we came up for helping researchers instead of using a geologic compass, useful especially on wide pits where you cannot reach the walls.

Now this process is fully automated and included in ThIDE. The structural calculated planes in the cave are shown overlaid over a 3D model or over the mainline view. It can be tested by renaming a few stations in a Therion project to include the "geo" or other specified text.
