[Therion] Colouring by map or scrap

2016-03-11 Thread Graham Mullan
The problem that I have with colour is that assigning the colours automatically means it's difficult to get matching colours on plan and elevation. It works on straightforward cases, you just put the maps in the same order on plan & elevation & it assigns the colours in the same order. This does no

Hi All Someone I am working with is collecting his data using an application called Qave. He is having a problem exporting to Therion to do the final drawing. I have no experience of Qave (spoiler, I've never heard of it before) so can offer no advice as to how to do this. Can anyone on here a

Andrew has shown up an interesting flaw in both Therion and Survex. A single fix of a point, unless otherwise qualified, will always be presumed to be more accurate than multiple fixes than multiple fixes even though (I suppose, I don't have the maths) the latter should be better. Unless one is

Am I reading this correctly? You are saying that Topodroid exports every scrap as an individual pair of .th and .th2 files? If that's the case, you don't need a protocol for working in Therion, you need to writers of Topodroid to alter their export protocols so that your entire day's surveying i

[Therion] Fix station point using only 2D

2018-08-22 Thread Graham Mullan via Therion
I think there are two issues here. I have skewed surveys built on 2D data using 3D fixed points and that seems, to me, to be what is happening here. Firstly, if your radiolocation point has no depth information then you cannot use it for a 3D skew which I think (I may be wrong) as it is insuffic
