Now I have added this into my surveys, I see that the centreline is rendered as solid lines when you include the centreline (and have not set the centreline symbol group to be hidden), but if you do not include the centreline then the survey lines renderer in the scraps are just dashes at each station rather than complete lines running the complete distance between pairs of stations. Not a problem, but curious as to why I get two different styles for cave survey lines. Then I tried this on my 66km system survey and with centrelines set to show in my layout, I found metapost used up all the words of memory it is allowed so I get no output. From my logfile: Here is how much of MetaPost's memory you used: 6498 strings out of 6522 15689 string characters out of 34452 1500001 words of memory out of 1500000 1389 symbolic tokens out of 16384 12i,75n,41p,489b,3f stack positions out of 300i,84n,5000p,608b,15f 10510 string compactions (moved 140463121 characters, 13446441 strings)371 output files written: data.1 .. data.4017 How can I get around this limitation?

I see it too now. I have not realised you could include just a centreline in the map. It shows every survey station and leg in the cave, rather than just those included in scraps right? When I add that my altitude baseline is set to 0m like yours using 5.3.16
I've not done this before as I had assumed I could only see survey sections which were drawn in scraps. I can see how it is useful to be able to render centrelines and stations for the entire system regardless.

Like this
map DeckExtensionPlanMap -title "The Deck Extension<br>Upper Levels<br>Middle Earth Cave<br>Greenlink System"
…
36-BigWednesdayPlan@MiddleEarth
36-BigWednesdayPlanCL@MiddleEarth
…
end map
where the contributory maps look like this…
map 36-BigWednesdayPlanCL -title "36-BigWednesday centreline Plan" -projection plan
36 #centreline survey
endmap
map 36-BigWednesdayPlan -title "36-BigWednesday Plan" -projection plan
36-BigWednesdayPlan-s1 #scraps
36-BigWednesdayPlan-s2
endmap
So what it is looking like, if the contributory maps are all derived from scraps (or maps in turn derived from scraps), then the altitude range is correct.
But if there is a map that is centerline derived (ie has no scraps) then the altitude minima is set to zero.
One other thing.
All my tests so far use survex for loop closure. I have not tried using Therion loop closure.
And all my files are native Therion files – no survex imports.

I checked and I can confirm what Bruce is saying. If you don't include centerline in map, the altitude range is correct.
If you hide the centerline in the layout (leaving it in the map) the altitude range keeps starting from 0 m.

I am not seeing this Bruce. I just tested with 5.3.16. My survey imports the centreline from a Survex .3d file however, so that might make a difference? Or maybe I am not understanding what you mean by including the centreline in the map. I turned off the centreline using 'symbol-hide line survey'. If I comment that out in my layout then the centreline is drawn in the map, but my altitude range still covers only the range of my scraps.

OK, the problem is not the previews or the offsets, as it occurs in the map examples below regardless of presence of previews or offsets.
What does seem to control whether the altitudes start at zero meters is whether the map definition includes a survey centerline.
If part of map definition includes a survey centerline, then altitudes are coloured from zero meters to survey maxima (a bug?).
If map definition has no survey centerline as part of it’s definition, then coloured from survey minima to survey maxima (correct behaviour).
Hence I find this behaviour manifests in maps in progress, but when they are finished and I (usually) turn off the centerline maps, they correct themselves.
