Re: [Therion] Dataset structure including survex files

[Stacho Mudrak]

Just a few remarks to your yesterday mail:

> 1) with import ../benarat.3d, and import command outside survey terikan

>  therion: warning -- unable to import 25 stations outside survey
>  therion: warning -- unable to import 43 shots outside survey

This is because in your .3d file, there are some stations and shots outside any
survey. If you put import outside survey, these stations/shots can not be
imported. Therion must have stations and shots in surveys.

> 2) with import ../benarat.3d, and import command outside survey terikan _and_

> works, no warnings. (this is a very odd result!).

If same station is imported twice, no warning is given. This is because
otherwise you would not be able to work with local and global .3d file without
modifiyng your codes (commenting import command on local level, when a global
level import is present). Correct way would be probably use some #ifdef syntax,
but I am not sure whether it makes sense.

If you use surveys use, than you are missing survey definitions in your terikan
dataset. In this case address@hidden station is created, not address@hidden you
are referencing in your th2 files. You need to add empty surveys after survey
terikan:

survey terikan
  survey fake
  endsurvey
  survey elevator
  endsurvey
  ...
endsurvey

When you will get your codes working together, could you please write more
detailed description of import command to therion book?
