Hi Tarquin - I dislike using extended elevations. The folding that is done to create the perspective really messes with the presentation. Plain unfolded elevations are, I think, much more useful. My comment about joining elevations was related to treating them like cross-sections. I suspect that scraps of "projection none" cannot be joined. If they can be joined, then what is the scrap name to use as parameter to the section point? Keeping track of multiple thconfig files is a pain. As a big-picture item - I think that should not be necessary. The fact that it IS necessary points to some needed improvements. In an ideal world there should never be a need for more than one thconfig file for each map project. I use Linux, so the issues with system path are less of a problem for me. =============== Bill Gee On 2/13/25 08:08, Tarquin Wilton-Jones via Therion wrote:
The main problem with it is when I want to join multiple profile scraps.
This is no different than plan view. I have plenty of profile scraps. I just make sure to avoid confusion by naming my scraps with their orientation in the scrap names to keep it clear to myself which belong where:
fooSE256
Then the parent file has: join fooSE256@entarea barSE256@longbypass and: map elevationME256 -projection [elevation 256] -title "MyCave Elevation" entareaME256@entarea #map of the scraps in entarea longbypassME256@longbypass endmap
So far I have drawn only one section of profile for this map. I will have some others. Finding a way to create a different .pdf file for them could be interesting.
I have a separate .thconfig for each, which selects the relevant map and exports it as a PDF: Elevation256.thconfig Elevation120.thconfig
Then I have AllVersions.thconfig which contains this:
system """C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe"" Elevation256.thconfig" system """C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe"" Elevation120.thconfig" ...
(These commands are a lot more readable if you put Therion in your %PATH%, or if you are using Linux.)
Then I combine these into a single survey PDF by embedding the images, or into a PDF with one survey per page (using pdftk or pdfjam). Whichever .thconfig file produces the combined PDF is always the last one that gets run by AllVersions.thconfig _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk https://mailman.speleo.sk/listinfo/therion
