| **Th**(erion)** Config**(uration) files select **surveys** and **map objects** to output. Type of output is defined by the export command, and can be a 2D drawing (which contains information defined in map objects), or a 3D model (which contains information defined mainly in surveys) or one of the text-like outputs (which contain information only defined in surveys). Therefore, at present (June 2011 version 5.3.8), if you select both maps and surveys for export (remembering that NOT selecting one of those will select them all) then it is most unlikely that the statistics in the map outputs will match the statistics in the survey/list/database outputs. This is because for any significant system it is unlikely that every piece of survey has a map defined, or any map object has drawing that encompasses exactly all centrelines on which it is based. More on this on the [[exportselectionformat|Export selection and Formats]] page.\\ | **Th**(erion)** Config**(uration) files select **surveys** and **map objects** to output.

| A **map output** (not to be confused with a map object) is contained on a single ‘page’ and the size of the page is automatically made big enough to fit the cave by the software. A number of formats are supported but pdf seems to be the most comprehensive. Pdf maps can include graphics such as photos, logos, other pdf files or previously created cave maps. | A **map output** (not to be confused with a map object) is contained on a single ‘page’ and the size of the page is automatically made big enough to fit the cave by the software.

| An **atlas output** cuts the cave up to fit a user defined ‘paper size’ and adds a navigation pane. Hyperlinks in the navigation pane and at the page edges facilitate rapid navigation. If multiple maps are selected in the thconfig file, then chapters are automatically created separating the maps. These may be different caves or different levels in the cave – with hyperlinks to navigate between different levels. Only pdf format is supported. Inserted graphic images are NOT supported. | An **[[tbe:wiki4?s[]=atlas#atlases|atlas output]]** cuts the cave up to fit a user defined ‘paper size’ and adds a navigation pane.

| In theory you could produce every type of output each time you run Therion, but in practice the 2d and 3d outputs can take a long time to process, so it can be a good idea to comment out the rows for these types of outputs when you don’t need them. | In theory you could produce every type of output each time you run Therion, but in practice the 2d and 3d outputs can take a long time to process, so it can be a good idea to comment out the rows for these types of outputs when you don’t need them. |
