Everything should be feet, right?? NOT! When I do a passage height point and specify "-value 3", for example, Therion thinks that is 3 meters.
You are right, these settings are just for centerline data, and even there in some cases they will not be used (e.g. when specifying explored length after station with continuation flag) :( It needs to be checked and fixed. Until now, nobody was using feets with therion so this problem was ignored.
When the map is compiled, 3 meters is converted to feet and then printed on the map. It comes out as 10!
point 481.75 -722.5 passage-height -value 3
The workaround I discovered is to specify it as "-value [3 ft]". This comes out right on the compiled map.
point 481.75 -722.5 passage-height -value [3 ft]
Is there a way to avoid this convoluted syntax?
Not yet. If it would help you, we can add some -units option for scrap. If it will be specified, all -values in current scrap will be treated in given units. Would this help you? Regards, S.
