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.
