Suggerimenti, idee e proposte per nuove funzionalità / Import sketch into base layer
« il: Gennaio 15, 2024, 07:00:10 pm »
Hi!
First of all: cSurvey is the best program I've ever worked with to create cave maps! Thank you!
However, I have very very very big problems working with sketches. This is my current workflow:
This is due to the fact, that cSurvey imports the sketch into the Borders layer. But I find it much easier to draw the borders new (with a sketch "below") than to optimize/simplify/reshape the existing border sketch. Additionally, all other sketched objects like rocks are also in the border layer.
My suggestion is, that the PocketTopo import has a checkbox like "[X] import sketch into Base layer". I assume that the modification to the program sources should be minimal, but for me (and some others) it would simplify the workflow dramatically.
Best regards
-Klaus

However, I have very very very big problems working with sketches. This is my current workflow:
- make the survey with PocketTopo
- export the survey data from PocketTopo in Therion format
- export a screenshot of the plan as .png file
- export a screenshot of the profile as .png file
- in cSurvey, import only the survey data from PocketTopo format
- switch to Plan view, select Base layer, import plan.png
- switch to Profile view, select Base layer, import profile.png
