If you were going to add a postscript export feature for people wanting to 
import the centre-line into vector drawing packages, it would be great if 
you could also include passage width/height indicators when the survey 
contained LRUD data. Something along the lines of adding a couple of small 
T bars to each station to indicate the passage walls on plans, and to 
indicate the floor and ceiling position with respect to the station on 
elevations. I'll attempt to draw what I mean in my best ASCII:
       _
       |         <- T bar at station
-----------------  <-Centre-line 
       |
       -

This would be a great help in drawing in the passage detail later.
