Hello Bruce and All
I had to draw a few large caves and I want to share my experience:
1) I always keep scanned survey notebooks. This is an artifact obtained
in a cave and is the source of truth.
2) I store the entire centerline in a separate directory with a split
into files on a trip basis. I think this is more correct because the
centerline is a direct reflection of the survey notebooks. In the case
of an error, this allows you to quickly navigate to notebooks. Entire
cave centerline assembled in index file inside centerline directory.
3) I do not tie maps tightly to survey trips because it's usually more
convenient to draw a map that covers a cave part (passage, grotto)
rather than surveying trip.
I call such dedicated part of the cave as `subsystem`. Subsystem maps
are stored in separate subsystem directories. In each directory there
are files `thconfig`, * .th2 and a file `maps.th` in which the
definition of maps and joins is stored.
I store the definition of maps of the entire cave in the top directory
in the `maps.th` file in which I connect the` maps.th` files from the
subsystems' directories. I do not use therion namespaces for maps
because the number of maps are much smaller than the surveys. Uniqueness
of names of maps I support manually.
Folder structure example:
cave
+-- survey# scanned notebooks
+-- trip1
+-- 1.jpg
+-- 2.jpg
+-- 3.jpg
+-- trip2
+-- trip3
+-- trip4
+-- cl # centerline
+-- cave.th # index file with equates
+-- trip1.th
+-- trip2.th
+-- trip3.th
+-- trip4.th
+-- model
+-- thconfig
+-- map
+-- p # plan
+-- subsystem1
+-- 1.th2
+-- 2.th2
+-- maps.th
+-- thconfig
+-- subsystem2
+-- 3.th2
+-- maps.th
+-- thconfig
+-- maps.th
+-- thconfig
+-- rr # extended elevation
+-- r240 # elevationat 240

A little while ago I explored the effects of different ways of
relating scraps and maps to surveys, and to the files that contain them.
I came up with the attached text, which I might get around to turning
into a wiki page sometime. There are links to some examples already
available via the wiki.
Before I wiki-ise it, I’d like some feedback, or criticism, as
appropriate! Is it helpful? (I think so)
Footleg, I plagiarised your page, just a little.
Also, if Danilo Magnani or Will Urbanski are still listening, or if
someone knows how to contact them, I’d like permission to put on the
wiki the project samples they posted to this forum some years ago.
Those are named Complesso - Buc di V, and DDC – Radio Collar Cave.
