Hi, everyone - Taking off from Stacho's comment below about setting the units for LRUD, I have been wrestling ever since I began using Therion with the units on "Passage Height" points. I discovered quite by accident a way to make them come out right, but it seems a kludgy way to do things. In my .th file I specify units like this: units compass degrees units clino degrees units length feet units depth feet units tape feet units altitude feet units dimensions feet 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. 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? Thanks - Bill Gee I am using Therion 5.2 on Fedora 7
But I am not sure, whether it is all you asked for... It looks, that you had problems enering survey data in feet. Is it really like that? Could you please send me some sample file in feets, may be you are just missing units settings. May be your confusion comes from a fact, that if you enter in your data header:
units length feet
LRUD data are still interpreted as metres. All you need to do in this case is to specify, that also dimenstions are entered in feet
units length dimensions feet
