Aven Description
Underground exploration requires a strong mapping tool, in order to create layouts of each cave system explored. Based on these premises, Aven comes as reliable tool for mapping underground cave systems. Aside from mapping cave layouts, you can use it to visualize other projects and check the details of each underground system.
Handy tool for cave surveying
The application allows you to create a detailed graphical representation of a cave system, complete with depth indicators, entry points, surface exits and control points. Using all these options, you can create elaborate and complex cave surveys and underground systems representations in just a couple of minutes.
In addition, you are displayed with GPS coordinates whenever you hover over a certain point, thus knowing exactly where each crevasse or fissure is located. This also helps you map each cave system using the GPS, by measuring the depth and distance between points.
Responsive cave surveying visualizer
Aside from cave mapping, Aven can help you visualize other projects created with it, and inspect each detail of various underground systems. You can intensely analyze other representations of a cave system created by others, using your mouse as a freeform camera to navigate throughout the layout of each imported project.
Aside from this, the application can save each project as an interactive presentation, so that you can use them to your demonstrative slideshows or public conferences. This is a nifty feature, because you only need to use the saved presentation and not the whole program to explain details about a cave system.
An overall good cave surveying utility
To sum it up, Aven is ideal for people who need a sturdy environment to represent and visualize underground cave systems. Tailored to the needs of cave surveyors, the application is able to map cave surveys, then create a presentation with its layout.
