Loch/Therion new user

[Giorgio Pannuzzo]

I'm a new Therion/Loch user and I wish to learn something about them because
I'm really interested about their great advantages and technical approach.
A this stage I'm just playing with the programs using my old datasets,
facing the lack (or difficulty to find) of several useful features.
Occasionally I also found some bugs (using "infer equates on" command).

Wishes:

1- A GUI command in Loch to set on/off on-the-fly the "Vertical Prism"
feature (in CaveX slang). Really useful for the rendering of old (E.G.
compass.plt) datasets, collected by traditional LRUD usage. As I understand,
the vthreshold command can't be set to "off" even in Therion Options.
2- An "Export" option in Loch to create .th files from other format 3d
Datasets imported (E.G. compass.plt). If I'm not wrong, the standard
Therion's "import" command looses LRUD data.
3- More bitmap formats available for surface (ECW-TIF etc.) and the ability
to use OziExplorer's ".map" georeferencing.

4- lots of other things I'm thinking around, leave them for next posts.

Sorry for my poor english and thanks for your great work.
Have  a nice day.

OK, it is no problem to add it into loch options. I will try to do it.

Yes, you are right. But it would be probably more easier to support
LRUD data in therion's import command. Would it solve your problem?

This issue is already in the TODO list, but some other staff needs to
be coded before - e.g. correct calibration of surface mesh, which is
not correct now.

Please do not hesitate to write them :)

Thanks for suggestions, S.

Thank you for your kind response.

My first requests are oriented to set easier the approach to Therion by
other SW users (it's my problem, but the same for a lot o potential Therion
future users).

Yes it does actually. I asked the other way just because it's a really
simple way (just drag and drop) to play with my own data in  Loch and then
obtain a .th format to try and understand. Really immediate and useful for
beginners. But, of course, if it requests a lot of work, then is better to
do other most important things.

Thank you for all.

Giorgio
