1. I also often use aven to assist my drawing. What helps me alot here is
linux/kde, because I can do stuff in aven, put the window below xtherions and
make the xtherion window transparent. Aven works as a kind of „background
image“ in that regard.
Now that is a really useful tip!
Shame Windows still seems to lack that feature, and every app that can
do it is either abandonware or domain squatted, or an unsigned download
from a dodgy site.
2. when drawing vertically, isn‘t drawing (and rendering) exendet elevations
far more useful and expressive?
You also can export xvis in that projection.
For a vertical cave, almost always!
For a vein-based mine, not really, since you want to preserve the
relationships between levels, because the standard view is a cross
section through a mountain, and they regularly join each other.
Projected elevation can often be best there.
But I think Jean-Florent's question is almost certainly about drawing
the plan view, which is a nightmare when everything overlaps everything
else.
