Hello everyone -
Suggestions please!
As a Linux user I have never tried using Compass. A week ago I discovered
that Therion can create output files in Compass "PLT" format. I created a
file and sent it to a friend who is a big Compass user. He reports that it
will not import.
To test, I created a Windows computer in VirtualBox and then installed Compass
(version 5.10.1.23.267) on it. I confirmed my friend's observation. When I
try to open the PLT file in the Compass viewer, it gives an error:
"Invalid numeric input"
When I try to open the file in the Compass editor, it give a different error:
"1916543.04 is not a valid integer value"
Looking at the PLT file with a Linux text editor shows no obvious problems.
It appears to be a collection of GPS coordinates associated with survey
stations. It is not a large file - about 36K bytes, which seems a bit small
for a cave with almost 800 survey stations and about 15,000 feet (4.5 km) of
passage.
The line I used to generate the file is:
export model -fmt compass -o BigCavernRanch.plt
I tried adding "-enable all -wall-source all" to the compile line, but it made
no difference. It did not even change the size of the file.
I am using Therion version 5.4.1 on 64-bit Fedora 28.
Thanks!
