Hi Omri,
I think it depends on how you've surveyed this chamber, without seeing how 1_9 is connected to 1_17 on your th file, I think it would be very difficult to work out why the programme is distorting the file so much. I suspect now you have run it (scrap 26) without any survey points, you have taken out the reason why the programme is warping your image. therefore it's probably a problem with your th file. As far as my limited knowledge takes me, there are a couple of reasons why it might have warped your image. 1) a series of points connected up from 1_9 to 1_17 may have a small error in them. 2) you may have accidentally equated two points in your th file. (for example 1_9 to 1_10, 1_10 to 1_11, 1_11 1_9 0 0 0, 3) If you have outputted this at a higher "cave" level (when you ran Kimron-1_15Xp) and linked in more than one of the pits in the floor, this could also cause warping when the programme tries to join several th2 files together. This is so that it can create the best fit with where you've placed the walls. Might be an idea to show us your th file.

The extended profile turned out good. one of the plan sketches is distorted as you can see here: [image.png] The original scrap is Kimron-1_15Xp, the new scrap is scrap26, so, I moved all the map elements except the stations, so now my scrap look like this ( the stations still exists in the .th file): scrap Kimron-1_15Xp -projection plan -scale [0 0 20 0 0 0 1 0 m] point 146.75 -130.52 station -name "1_9" point 162.64 -129.64 station -name "1_10" point 186.31 -124.43 station -name "1_11" point 198.19 -127.12 station -name "1_12" point 176.97 -115.01 station -name "1_13" point 191.00 -109.43 station -name "1_14" point 194.21 -92.76 station -name "1_15" point 182.67 -112.46 station -name "1_16" point 186.84 -71.79 station -name "1_17" endscrap scrap scrap26 -projection plan -scale [0 0 20 0 0 0 1 0 m] line wall -close on..... when I ran scrap26 the map is correct: [image.png] I used this Technic several times and it worked every time.

It is also one of the better looking Therion maps I have come across. I have yet to pick it apart to see why it works and what the implications are. My suspicion is that it does not properly morph the sketches to the survey network. In response to Omri’s question – if your survey is perfect, and the field sketch as well, then of course an unmorphed drawing will be just fine. If you have a real survey and sketch, subject to distortions due to loop closures over multiple trips (multiple files), then the loops will not match, and the drawing will need to be morphed due to loop closures and due to scrap joins where the scraps are in different files or different locations in the same file. If, when using Topodroid, as I have seen people over here do, you accumulate all of your survey trips in a single file, and end up with one huge sketch for the cave, in which you manually compensate for any misclosures, then Therion has nothing much left to do. In that case, it might be fine to do as you describe. Until someone finds the next big breakthrough passage, then it may or may not be.

[Caviat, I know you can have a th2 file with no survey stations in it, but we're not creating rocks today wookware.org/surveys/therion/testrocks<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwookware.org%2Fsurveys%2Ftherion%2Ftestrocks&data=02%7C01%7C%7C906c3422c0644973cd2f08d74b42f8f4%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637060623332440451&sdata=0Avg9HjM7sIrATrlO4%2BIKtYiDtyXjn0OzVTqIcwhGlo%3D&reserved=0>].

As I understand it, Therion change the map to overcome or compensate errors or Deviations, especially when there are loops involved, but wouldn't it be more accurate to stick to the original sketch that I drew with Topodroid in the cave? what do you think?
