A few options here: have a shp output with options in survex or have a plugin
for qgis that just handles survex files. I think the latter would be better as
with a plugin in qgis your not lumbering survex with more export formats that
most users wont use. If someone can write a qgis plugin (they are in Python) one
could select a 3d file from Aven and then via checkboxes select what attributes
to import (legs, stations etc) as the plugins have a GUI interface.


I'd argue that shapefile export would be useful to more users than a QGIS plugin. While QGIS is certainly popular, there are a lot of people who use ArcGIS. And here in China everyone uses MapGIS.
