> From a cave diving perspective, it would be useful to add local zero depth lines using a similar process. Is there an appropriate line type to use for this? I have not yet drawn a wet cave, but I've been experimenting with line border:presumed -clip off for flood levels. You

Steve I'll add the gpsvisualizer to the Therion wiki, as it looks like a good way to get a smoothed ground profile over a cave centreline. Just so I'm clear, did you just upload your therion generated kml file here? If you want to make a terrain model, then TerrainTool is the way to go

Steve I'll be interested to see if anyone has managed to create a ground line as you describe. I assume it is not possible to make it a boundary for the background colour. I have just tried taking a 3d gps trail with 2m resolution and then including it as a survey line and this can be included

[re-sent due to email address error] I am looking for some advice on the best way to add the profile of the ground surface to a cave elevation (for pdf export). Apologies if this is in the book and I've missed it. Currently, I have the background colour as a light grey, with cave the
