Good morning, 

My name is Ainhoa. I have a question about TopoDroid and I'm hoping you can help me. 

We have a fairly large topographic survey that we've been working on for years and are still working on.

 

is this a cave survey ?

 

We have it drawn in DXF format and the cross-sections are created in Visual Topo.

I did not know that VisualTopo can create cross-sections.

Maybe you mean the plan/profile view of the centerline ...

 

I've imported the Visual Topo file and all the cross-sections appear perfectly in TopoDroid.

Again TopoDroid imports only the survey data (centerline and splays/LRUD) from VisualTopo files. 

 

Now for my question: in that same TopoDroid file, can I place the DXF file in a sketch and see the cross-sections I'm creating with Visual TopoDroid?

There is nothing like import of DXF sketch files.

As a matter of fact only PocketTopo drawings can be imported.

Therion sketch files can be opened, but not im[ported in a survey.

 

And another question: in a file, can I select only certain cross-sections and create a sketch of just those sections?

Yes, somwhow.

You can hide portions of the centerline in the view. 

Alternatively you can copy the selected shots to a new survey and open a sketch of it.

See the manual for details.

I'm not sure if I've explained myself clearly.

i am sending my reply to the topodroid list, 

in case someone wants to add something ...

Thank you very much and best regards.

Maybe you're talking about cross-section splays?
