Hi Xavier

Have just finished cleaning my caving gear after caving two days with Michael and others.  Your message a nice distraction from the job of actually drawing the weekends surveying!

Michael has been using previews and offsets for elevation maps for some time.

I checked just now, and it is working with 5.3.15, and presume it must have been fine with 5.3.14 and earlier.

The example here includes statements like these to create the map definition;

  map DeckExtensionElev290   \

  -title "Middle Earth Cave Deck Extension Passages<br>Elevation looking 290 deg" \

  -projection [elevation 290 deg]

  preview below MiddleEarthElev290Map

  DD-SandyWayElev290@MiddleEarth [-300 000 m] above

  #etc

Regards

Bruce

Subject: [Therion] preview above/below in elevation maps?

Does anyone has experience with preview above/below in elevation maps?

I use it quite often in plan maps, with the expected behavior, but when

I try it in an elevation map, the "previewed" map does not appear at all

in my pdf neither with below or above.   I am wondering if I missed

something in the intended behavior or if there is a bug in my layouts

(although it does not work either if I don't load them).

Thanks for your insights

Xavier
