cavern had eaten itself, but after pushing ctrl-c in the shell running
therion, the 3d file was written successfully and the output was nice.
I enhanced the therion wiki a little with a link to the tool.
Sorry, i have no clue how to cross compile this for windows.

Hi there,
i just wrote a small tool to do the conversion from a therion surface
mesh into survex format:
https://github.com/hbeni/therionsurface2survex
It would be nice if some C++ programmers can look over the code as
this is my first c++ endeavour.
The program basically parses the therion source file and generates
*fix commands out of it together with nosurvey-centerline connecting
the stations to a mesh.
The resulting .swx file then can be put trough survex' cavern program
to generate a 3d file of the mesh.
That can be easily combined with a 3d file of the cave generated from
therion (using the import statements). For ease of use provided a
basic example for combining in the readme. A sample to parse a mesh is
in the projects example/ folder, however i also tested it positive
with the rabbit cave example.
With my dataset the calculation seems to take a little longer....
there are 388.800 fixe stations in the surface mesh giving a 31M
swx-file in total.
I hope this will finish somtime (running already for 25 minutes) but
maybe i overloaded cavern with this.
Otherwise i probably need to turn down the grid resolution (currently
10m grid size).

Sounds like it. It works based on legs that have:
flags surface
1 2 9.8 123 0
flags not surface
Or if you have used TerrainTool to export it as a grid, it will have
added that for you.
This has been very easy for us in our projects because we either knew
exactly which line to follow on the surface beforehand, or we surveyed
the cave first then surveyed over the surface afterwards, staying
above
the passage so we could have a useful measure of the surface above the
cave.
In more complex caves, I rely on TerrainTool to cover the surface.
Looking forward to being able to use the new more accurate NASADEM so
that the measurements are actually accurate.
