TdManager

Starting with version 5.1.0 the Cave Project Management functions are included in TopoDroid.

These apps are no longer available on Google Play and no further developed.

The latest apk can be downloaded from this page.

TopoDroid cave project manager - TdManager

The TdManager app is used to organize single surveys in cave projects.

The surveys data are read from the TopoDroid database.

The cave project files are saved in the folder "tdconfig" under the TopoDroid directory.

With it you can

• • create and delete cave projects

  • add survey data files to a project, or remove them from it

  • view multiple survey plans, moving each of them with respect to the others

  • define station equates graphically

  • display the 3D of the cave project

Cave3D must be updated to v. 3.2.0 or later to display the 3D view of these configuration files.

TdManager was not available on Google Play.

Therion cave project manager - ThManager

ThManager is like TdManager but it uses the surveys exported in Therion format, and saved in the folder "th" of topodroid.

The projects are Therion configuration files and are saved in the folder "thconfig" of topodroid.

By this means you have a workable Therion thconfig file that can be

• • loaded in Cave3D to have a 3D view of the cave project,

  • used as a starting point to compile the cave project with Therion

TdManager/ThManager How-To.

When you start TdManager it lists the cave projects, ie, the "tdconfig" files in the tdconfig folder of TopoDroid.

If this folder does not exists, the app creates it and the list of cave projects is empty.

If your surveys files are in another TopoDroid directory, change the CWD (current work directory) to the proper TopoDroid directory

with the "Options" menu.

ThManager is similar, but it works with the survey files in Therion format contained in the folder "th".

The cave projects are saved as "thconfig" files in the folder "thconfig".

In this screen-view you have the following menus:

- create a new cave project

- edit the app settings (in particular you can set the current working directory)

- help (not implemented)

When you tap a cave project in the list, it is opened and the screen-view changes to the

list of surevys contained in the project. A newly created project does not have any survey, so the

list is empty.

This view menus are

- add surveys to the project

- delete surveys from the project

- view selected surveys, displaying their view in plan.

- list the "equate" commands. With this dialog you can remove equates.

- delete the cave project

- options (not implemented)

The surveys are displayed in plan-view with the midline and the station names.

Different surveys are shown with different colors.

Equates are shown with red dashed lines, and equated stations have a round background.

The view can be panned and zoomed (with two-finger).

In ths view you can grab a survey by tapping on one of its stations (the selected station is highlighted with a circle).

When a survey is selected you can drag it, the other surveys remaining fixed.

By this means you find how to put the surveys together.

When the two stations of the two surveys are almost overlapped, they are both highlighted: in this situation

you can add a new equate (menu "add equate") between them.

It is advisable to view two surveys at a time only.

There is a menu to list the equates, and to define a new "equate".

To add an "equate" you must first bring together the stations of the two surveys that you want to equate.

Then tap the two stations: they are both highlighted with a circle.

Finally select the "add equate" menu, and confirm.

From the dialog with the list of the equate commands, you can delete equates.
