Again:

1. try to imagine format of data for all kinds of surveying technologies 
available, with preserving the original format of data and include all the logs 
and notes around. Try imagine such windows only editor.

2. try to imagine map editor you may use any kind of vector symbol you are able 
to imagine.

3. try to imagine export command to export all the kinds of PDF outputs you may 
imagine, and export all the format therion is able to export.

The problem is not the therion itself, problem is the complexity of 
documentation of caves. If somebody have to make a map of cave for himself and 
for his group, he may use what he want. If he will want to make complex 
documentation of cave and preserve it for feature, independent of computer 
platform, computers as well, … he has only one choice.

One may use therion in very, very simple way, without 99 % of its complexity. 
So maybe much better is to start from this point.

Use simple 

file 123.th:

survey 123

  input 123.th2

  centerline
  ….
  encenterline

  map 123.map
  ….
  endmap
ensurvey

file 123.th2:

small simple scraps in map editor.

In compiler part use simple:

source 123.th <http://123.th/>
select 123.map

export map
export model

Enough simple for newbies, isn’t it.
