| + | The SexyTopo cave and underground surveying app for Android. Next-gen surveying with a sexy interface. It interfaces with a Disto-X and builds up a model of the cave. It provides a sketching environment for the cave surveyor to collect the details, and exports all the information to Therion, Survex, Compass, text (PocketTopo Therion) and SVG. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Why use SexyTopo? | ||
| + | - Android based, will run on your phone. | ||
| + | - If you tend to use one or two distoXs per device (but not at one time). | ||
| + | - You want better survey software. | ||
| + | - Quick cave sketching with no need to consider scraps, Therion or final presentation. | ||
| + | - ‘Drawing’ options include lines and text in 8 colours (directly accessed from the drawing screen – one tap to change) and comments attached to survey stations. | ||
| + | - See in real time the survey network for all previous survey trips to the cave. | ||
| + | - Files all stored in a single folder, so you need a snappy naming convention to keep track of your files. | ||
| + | - Semi-automated export to Therion ready to compile as a stand alone trip survey. | ||
| + | - Later with XTherion, your SexyTopo sketch is a background to trace over, while you consider how best to create scraps over it, with an awareness of the entire survey to date. | ||
| + | - Original sketches are always visible for direct comparison with the current state of cartography (in XTherion). | ||

| + | therionsurface2survex takes a therion source file containing a surface mesh (`surface ... grid ... endsurface`) and converts it into a survex .swx file. This can be compiled by `cavern` into a survex .3d file, which may be combined with your cave's 3d-file. | ||
| + | This allows for example to take distance measurements between cave tunnels and the surface. | ||
