Wookey

All the projected elevation objects (scraps, maps and exports) need to have the projection angle specified.  Specifying nothing will result in a projection looking at bearing zero (north).

 

ie export map -proj [elevation 042 deg] -layout local -o "elv.pdf"

or export map -proj [elevation 042] -layout local -o "elv.pdf".  Therion defaults to degrees I think.

 

In XTherion it is like this…

 

Therefore if using degrees, you have the option of drawing up to 360 unique projected elevations.
