Hi Dan,

first of all you have to make the decision to use either local or global 
reference system. You can not mix them.

As you are planning to use GIS data I would recommend to use global 
coordinate systems. The advantages are:
- you can mix coordinates in different coordinate systems
- you can choose the output coordinate system in therion
- therion can calculate the magnetic declination (if you specify the 
date whem the readings were done)

What you need to do is:
- you need a rectangular coordinate system (ie UTM,...) (not good is for 
instance lat-long)

- in your measurement data you have to specify the coordinate system 
(command "cs"):
   survey Fahrstuhlschachthoehle
     centreline
       date 2009.11.07
      cs UTM33
       fix 2.20 0275873 5287674 1833
       ...


- you have also to specify the coordinate system in your surface definition:
   surface # Deklaration des Geländemodells
   # coordinate system
   cs EPSG:31468
   grid 4500500 5284700 10 10 100 100 #  grid x_Minimum y_Minimum x_res 
y_res n_col n_row
   # calibrated surface texture
   bitmap ./dop.jpg [0 0 4500500 5284700 5000 5000 4501500 5285700]
   #
   # Height matrix
   1255.32    1259.45    1262.32
   ...


you can also find some more information on how to build 3D models here:

Best regards
Wolfgang

PS: you can also use "cs" in your thconfig file (in case to produce 
output in different coordinate systems)
