Migration Stepby Step
Log in for wiki controls
In order to do this, you will need to download and install the following programs:
- Survex (which comes with Aven 3d visualiser)
- Therion (which comes with Loch 3d visualiser)
You will also need to clone the following github repositories:
- migovecsurveydata
- migovec-resurvey-project
We will use the survey of Penny Falls as an example.
Creating the necessary files and folders
-
Create a temp_penny_falls folder at the correct location. This should be
primadona/2018/ -
Copy and paste
penny_falls.svx in primadona/2018/temp_penny_falls/ -
Open penny_falls.svx in Aven and have a look at the centreline.
-
Print and save as an image, making sure to tick the boxes
station namesandcrosses. Make sure you are in plan view! Save the image underpenny_falls-p.gif. Note: I usually export as pdf and use the imagemagick commandline application to convert to gif, which is the format that Xtherion accepts -
Now go back to the
temp_penny_falls folder: it should contain the original .svx file, an additional .3d file (opened on Aven) and .err file containing the loop closure errors. Go ahead and create the following empty text files:penny_falls.thpenny_falls-p.th2penny_falls.thconfig*
Starting up Therion
-
Open the Therion application (there is an xtherion executable) and you should see the three panels: a text editor, a map editor and a compiler window (text editor at the top, and output at the bottom).
-
In the compiler window, open
penny_falls.thconfig*. It should be empty. Now enter the following code:source penny_falls.thThis indicates that we should include the survey data from penny falls. Then include a few layout specifications:
layout scale 1 50 #you should play around with this to get a feel for what the scale should be colour map-fg [85 80 55] # a simple RGB call endlayoutAnd finally, specify the outputs:
export map -o penny_falls.pdf export model fmt -o penny_falls.lox
