It looks, using survey grades will change in therion in the near future. The reason is, that in current configuration, it is not very clear, how to use it. We have studied the problem a little bit and it looks, that there are more or less same survey grades used around the world. So our suggestion is to use just simple grade N option in centerline, where N will be survey grade from 0 - 7, where 1-6 = BCRA 1-6, 7 = BCRA X and 0 will be data without any quality (e.g. position of cave nobody is able to locate now). This grade should be specified in each centerline object. And such a configuration will allow doing statistics on survey data from different sources. Of course, it will still be possible to refine data quality using "sd" option, but grades will remain the same for all survey data in therion. If you have any comments, please let us know.
