Thanks Stacho SKETCHES/SCRAPS I have yet to try this, but think I would never have figured that one out. But at last a solution, even if it is only for the novelty effect! SURFACE I tried a basic 10x10 surface, and it worked fine. I like the way I can have an image covering a wide area, and a terrain model covering a smaller area, and the model picks up the relevant part of the sketch only. Nice. Just a small comment. I have a hierarchy of 'individual caves' and 'whole cave system'. If, in my INDEX.th files, I 'input' the surface.th file containing the terrain model in both levels of the hierarchy, my pdf and lox models contain two copies of the surface. They look and work perfectly, but I infer this from the increased file size and decrease in speed. I can not figure out a way to avoid this without manually editing the INDEX files each time, unless perhaps I can put the 'input' statement referring to the terrain model in the thconfig files (avoids the multiple references if it's in the INDEX.th files. I've yet to try this, but is it likely to work?

And no, my sketches are not hidden below the surface bitmap, today was my first attempt at that, and I have produced many many plan maps, and never a morphed (or any) sketch to be seen.
Do you have -sketch option specified in your scrap? It does not work automatically. In the scrap toolbar - last list box is background sketches. You need to click insert button below and then click on the appropriate picture. Then this picture should be listed in the "background sketches" listbox. Background images in xtherion are not seen by therion, you need to enable this manually.
I take you mean if I enter some grid data, even zeros, I should get a (flat) terrain model in loch?
Yes - but you need to do it in the same "surface" object as your bitmap is specified. Regards, S. _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk http://www.speleo.sk/mailman/listinfo/therion
