Thanks Bruce very clear examples of surface flags. I now understand their use.

They are a survey property, not so much a drawing property.

And, um, yes, there is not too much on actual usage examples for flags surface. Here is a snippet from my last Sunday's survey efforts.

I'm not sure that is a very good way to deal with the issue. In the screenshot below I have a surface survey shown (green dots), designated surface by use of 'flags surface', 'flags not surface' interleaved with the survey data as appropriate. No need to fudge the cave length or depth because Therion does not include surface data in the cave length. There is some complexity around it, but you can show or hide the cave and surface centrelines using; symbol-show group surface-centreline symbol-hide group cave-centreline Bruce [cid:[email protected]]
