I also do not endorse the FROM station usage for LRUD. The post I made was written by Taco
and probably Larry Fish. I made the post for historical perspective. Ken is correct, the
standard should include both TO and FROM LRUD, plus leave open other definations. The
simple LRUD model leaves a lot be desired when it comes to solid modelling, but at least
it is easy to record in the field.
