Team member who didn't do any survey

Hello,
I'm curious as to how I can get my buddy's name on a map even though he didn't go on a survey trip where actual surveying was going on. We went in and sketched already surveyed passage. Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks.

Same way as for survey members.  Use the "team" command within the
Centreline context, perhaps with the "notes" or "pictures" role. From the
Book:-
team <person> [<roles>] . a survey team member. The 1st argument is his/her
name, the others describe the roles of the person in the team
(optional|currently not used). The following role keywords are supported:
station, length, tape, compass, bearing, clino, gradient, counter, depth,
station, position, notes, pictures, pics, instruments (insts), assistant
(dog).

Yes, but there was no actual survey associated with the trip that he went on, no data was actually collected. My data is broken down by trip, so when I create dataless trip to include him on, Therion doesn't count it. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I know how to include team members, I just don't know how to get Therion to include team members when there was no survey collected.

If this is still unclear, I'll send along some data :-).

Use the commands:

explo-date <date>

and

explo-team <person>

within your survey data file.  The values of <date> and <person>
should reflect when that section of passage was explored and by whom.

So, you might have something like this:

explo-date 2006.02.28
explo-team "Person A"
explo-team "Person B"
date 2006.03.04
team "Person A" notes
team "Person C" compass clino
team "Person D" tape

in the example above Person A was on both the exploration and the
survey trips, whilst Person B only took part in the exploration -
however they will still get credited on the final survey.

I was thinking of using explo-team, but technically it wasn't exploration. We were sketching passage that we had surveyed on a previous trip, when we didn't sketch. I could certainly simply put him in as a sketcher in the data associated with the previous trip. He wasn't on that trip though, and that would mess up the historical value of my documentation, because it would be innacurate :-).

Perhaps I should explain my particular difficulty. It's probably an artifact of the way I have my data organized. I create a seperate map/endmap pair for each individual trip. I then have a root map/endmap pair which is used to include all of the maps from each individual trip. This allows me to quickly add or remove survey data from the map as the need arises.

So the problem is that on trip 9, there was no data collection. I created a survey for trip9 to record the fact that we went in and sketched, but I assume since there was no survey data collected (assuming sketches don't count), therion won't include my friends name on the map, even though it doesn't complain about my trip9.th file during compilation.

I know of several ways to force therion to include the name, but I don't want to force it. I can think of numerous other places where including people on the map that did not survey would be useful. The cave we are surveying has signatures that Union soldiers scratched into the walls during the Siege of Chattanooga in 1863. It would be nice to be able to include the name of the historian that determined this, since the signatures will probably be indicated on the map. I know of no way to do this however, since no survey data was collected on that trip.

So I guess this is more of a request for Stacho to add the ability to include more team roles and not constrain them to being associated with centerline data. I realize this is probably a HUGE headache though, so more than likely I'll just force the names onto the map. If a major change in how team data is stored within Therion eventually becomes necessary for some other reason, however, it would be GREAT to include this functionality!!

Thank you all very much for your advice, btw. I appreciate it greatly!

I understand you very well, but it looks therion starts be more and  
more complicated just include all possible situations and scenarios  
to make documentation of caves. But what to do. :)

It is a task for Stacho, definitely.

I agree, I don't want to see Therion become unnecessarily complex. I guess this is an issue of whether Therion should be used for more general cave documentation, beyond "conventional" surveying. I personally think it would be nice to be able to add arbitrary team members, not simply just explo-team and team. Perhaps I'll dig through the source code and see if there isn't some easy way of adding this functionality. I imagine Stacho has more important things to do :-).

Here is what I ended up doing. I made up some fake survey data and flagged it as duplicate data, so it won't effect the cave statistics. I still don't like it very much, but at least Jerry's name is on the map now :-).

I think I understand. The problem is, that neither centerline nor
survey object represents survey trip :(

To model your situation correctly, we should probably create a "trip"
object with some properties like people, where it was, what was done
etc... and than centerline data could be linked with one or more
"trip" objects. But I am afraid, it would complicate things a little
bit...

I am not sure, whether it works (I hope :) and whether it will help
you, but you should be able to put several dates within same
centerline:

date 2007.12.31
team "Person A"
team "Person B"

date 2008.01.01
team "Person B"
team "Person C"
team "Person D"

and the second date will not overwrite the first one (both dates will
be taken into consideration). Like this your data should be correct,
or not?

Should this name appear also between surveyors?

Loch 3D Model

Hi Stacho,

today I was working on a 3D model of a cave.

Am I wrong or does Therion not use the extended elevation but only the
2D plan view for the 3D model?

It would be great to be able to create a full 3D model of a cave using
all available 2D map projections including profiles.

Regards,

Juergen

Unfortunatelly, you are right - current algorithm uses only plan
projection to create 3D model - no elevation projections are used.

For vertical caves, this modelling approach is completely wrong. I
would like to change this, but no time until now :(

Wouldn't it possible to take the up-down information from LRUD when they
are present?
Currently, it seems that as soon as there is a scrap, LRUD are
completely ignored, which sometimes
create very strange shapes which completely contradict the LRUD.

It is strange, but this information is already used. If you try just
simple scrap, its passage height is calculated from LRUD data. If it
does not work, it is pribably due to wrong algorithm. Especially for
not very flat or very large scraps - current algorithm has problems.

Could you please try it on some small scrap, whether it really ignores
LRUD (e.g. changing UD from 10m to 20m does nothing)?

Thanks, S.
