 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.

   - Android based, will run on your phone
   - If you tend to use two or more DistoXs per device (but not necessarily at one time)
+  - Better calibration management and analysis
   - Dark themed display is easier on your eyes and on batteries
   - Mature application, and still evolving, has a responsive author.  Large user base.
   - So many features, and you have learnt enough about them to know what you are doing!
+  - Auto detection of bad shots (magnetic anomaly or shaking the device)
   - Symbolic drawing.  What you sketch in the cave can be nearly ready for final presentation.
   - In the cave, sketch over your survey centreline in one large drawing, or multiple sketches.

   - Original sketches can be visible, if you export xvi format, for direct comparison with the current state of cartography (in XTherion).

+**Produce a surface mesh to be able to take mesurements between surface and cave.**
+  * Author: Benedikt Hallinger
+  * Link: [[https://github.com/hbeni/therionsurface2survex]]
+  * Platform: Linux, Windows (64bit), MacOS
+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.
+Since Version 1.0, the program supports also GDAL ASCII grid files as input and therion centerline format as output. This allows to directly parse ASCII height data into a surface mesh directly usable by therion.

+It translates data from Compass format (*.dat) to the format used by Therion (*.th).

+==== Survex2Therion converter ====
+It translates data from Survex format (*.svx) to the format used by Therion (*.th).
+  * Author: Andrew Atkinson
+  * Link: https://github.com/CaveSurveying/Survex2Therion
+  * Platform: Cross-Platform (Python)
+Written for the data set I was managing, not a comprehensive converter, hopefully it will be a useful starting point for other people wishing to convert from Survex format to Therion.
+To use run this script in your root directory of the data set.
+==== Remove empty lines and areas ====
+Therion editor did (still can?) leave empty lines or areas, that have been reported to cause problems. This command line pipe removes these
+  * Author: Andrew Atkinson
+  * Platform: Linux CLI
+This script was written for a specific data set. It has not been tested beyond, it is placed here as a starting point for others.
+**Warning**, this script modifies files without confirmation, backing up data before use is strongly recommended.
+<code>
+grep -rnIH -A 1 "^area " * |grep endarea|tac|awk -F- '{system("sed -i " $2-1 "," $2 "d '''" $1 "'''")}'
+</code>
+The above works for areas, substitute line and endline to also do areas.
+It is strongly recommended that the pipe is built up one step at a time to check it works on the data set. Below is an explanation of each step with known problems indicated.
+<code>
+grep -rnIH -A 1 "^area " *
+</code>
+Lists all lines in files with the 'area' as first word followed by a space plus the next line. If your files are indented this may not work, the ^ can be removed, but if the endarea has a space after, this with break the rest.
+<code>
+grep endarea
+</code>
+From the above list only the lines that contain endarea
+<code>
+tac
+</code>
+Reverses the order. When the lines area removed it is done by line number, so have to go from the end of the file otherwise susequent lines will have changed number.
+<code>
+awk -F- '{system("sed -i " $2-1 "," $2 "d '''" $1 "'''")}'
+</code>
+Deletes the lines, the -i just does it, removing the -i dumps it to screen, without changing the file
