====== 3.1.2.5- FIXED POINTS ====== To give real world coordinates to centerline, you need to have at least a fixed station point. This is, a station point with real coordinates. You should add to survey data a line like this: fix 0 575628 4476124 1250 As you can guess this fixed point is station 0 with UTM coordinates. You can have as many fixed points as you need. The more fixed points, the better. I usually write them at the beginning of survey data, so my final .th file could look like this: survey irurixo -title "Irurixo Koba" centerline date 2005.02.26 declination -3 degrees team "Mac Theknife" team "Juxe Euskalduna" # add as many team lines as you need units compass grad data normal from to length compass clino left right up down fix 0 575628 4476124 1250 fix 42 575100 4476655 1310 0 1 16.25 345 -10 1.00 0.85 6 1.60 1 2 4.10 275 1 0.30 0.90 2 1.60 (more survey data) endcenterline endsurvey Well, we are now ready to create our first thconfig file, so we can export an xvi (xtherion vectorial image) with our centerline data.
