<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-NZ style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Michael and I have held off venturing into extended
elevations for many years, but it seems that now might be the time. Have been
browsing the last 7 years of forum posts on this, and so it is with some
trepidation…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-NZ style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We have a cave system that now has a variety of often
travelled circuits and through trips, and so we envisage having perhaps two or
three or more extended elevation projections (maps/scraps) as route guides.
ie -proj extended:1 –proj extended:2 –proj extended:3
etc. A number of the passages will be included in more than one map, and
the nature and location of the ‘extend xxx’ statements in these
common passages will likely be different for each projection/map. At the
very least, we do not want the existence of an extended drawing for one survey
prejudicing the creation of a completely different extended drawing for the
same survey (in keeping with the Therion principle of do it once, use it many
times).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-NZ style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>My long time (but untested) idea for this is to keep
all the surveys with the default ‘extend right’, and then at the
time of compiling, include a file full of revise statements to tweak he various
surveys to extend left, right, ignore etc to suit the particular extended
drawing to be compiled.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
