Hi Martin - Not a problem! I appreciate your assistance very much. In the end, after wrestling with this for most of the last two days, I have decided to adopt Plan C ... I created new thconfig and .th files for each elevation segment that I want. I built a shell script to compile them all. Now the main map does not build any elevations. All it does is import the PDF files created by the shell script. I thought about using a "system" command to call therion with the alternate thconfig files. That might work, but I was a bit worried about multiple compiler processes fighting over the .log file and perhaps the temporary files. Doing it in a shell script avoids that problem and is really no more difficult. Let's close out this discussion thread. My method might not be ideal, but it works and I understand it. For the next revision I have some suggestions for the Therion Book. I think the explanation of the difference between "extended" and "elevation" projections needs to be expanded. Also, I think the explanation of the view angle for elevation projections should be expanded. I found that I had to include a view angle even when using a shell script, else the resulting map was horribly folded back on itself. However, it seems to make no difference which view angle I choose! Lastly, as a feature enhancement - It would be nice to have a way to tell Therion to rotate scraps with "none" and "elevation" projections. I have a number of sketches where the cave is drawn right-to-left but the cross sections and elevations are drawn up-and-down. I get around this by making two copies of the sketch (or three in some cases!) each of which is rotated to present the relevant portion upright. The flip command is not adequate since it does 180 degree rotations. I need to do 90 degree rotations. Kind regards - Bill Gee On Friday, November 14, 2014 08:24:50 Martin Sluka wrote:
Bill,
I'm sorry of mess I made in last mail
flip - command to flip scraps in xTherion
• flip (none)/horizontal/vertical ▷ flips the scrap after scale transformation
extend - command to extend (or flip) branches in centreline:
• extend <spec> [<station> [<station>]] ▷ control how the centerline is extended. - normal/reverse ▷ extend given and following stations to the same/reverse direction as previous station. If two stations are given—direction is applied only to given shot. - left/right ▷ same as above, but direction is specified explicitly. - vertical ▷ do not move station (shot) in X direction, use only Z component of the shot - start ▷ specify starting station (shot) - ignore ▷ ignore specified station (shot), continue extended elevation with other station (shot) if possible - hide ▷ do not show specified station (shot) in extended elevation If no stations are specified, <spec> is valid for following shots specified.
