Therion and 3D

Therion is able to export 3D model in format .lox based on LRUD data, shape of 
walls in plan and passage height informations recently. If the map is drawn in 
correct way these models are quite good. To view the model one should use 
internal viewer of Therion named Loch. The Loch has feature to export model in 
the VTK format. And several softwares for manipulating with 3D data for example 
CloudCompare or Paraview are able to import this VTK format.

CloudCompare is able to export next formats:

BIN .bin CloudCompare own format
ASCII .asc,.txt,.xyz,.neu,.pts ASCII point cloud file (X,Y,Z,etc.)
LAS .las ASPRS lidar point clouds
E57 .e57 ASTM E57 file format
PCD .pcd Point Cloud Library format
PLY .ply Stanford 3D geometry format (cloud or mesh)
OBJ .obj Wavefront mesh
VTK .vtk VTK file format (triangular mesh or cloud only)
STL .stl STereoLithography file format (mesh)
OFF .off Object File Format (mesh)
FBX .fbx Autodesk (Filmbox) File Format
DXF .dxf Autocad DXF format
SHP .shp ESRI Shape file format
RASTER .geotiff, etc. Common raster formats (GDAL)
PV .pv Point cloud + scalar field
PN .pn Point cloud + normals
Sinusx .sx Sinusx curves

ParaView is able to work with next formats:

ParaView files
VTK files
Parallel (partitioned) VTK files
VTK MultiBlock (MultiGroup, Hierarchical, Hierarchical Box) files
Legacy VTK files
Parallel (partitioned) legacy VTK files
EnSight files
EnSight Master Server files
Exodus files
BYU files
XDMF files
PLOT3D files
SpyPlot CTH files
HDF5 raw image data files
DEM files
VRML files
PLY Polygonal files
Protein Data Bank files
XMol Molecule files
Stereo Lithography files
Gaussian Cube files
Raw (binary) files
AVS files
Meta Image files
Facet files
PNG files
SAF files
LS-Dyna files

So you may for example calculate surface and volume of cave - thanks to Filippo 
Gregori:

1) Export the lox file to vtk format
2) With Paraview software I opened the file vtk
3) Save the file as .x3d
4) Open the file x3d in Meshlab software
6) Apply the filter: Filters -> Quality measure and computation -> compute 
geometric Measures
7) Open log window: View -> Show Layer dialog
8) Read the lines Volume Mesh and Mesh Surface
