Well, this is not yet possible. Currently no previews from maps in offset are shown and I am not sure how tricky would be to implement this. The original idea was, that general situation is shown in major map and maps in offset show only some additional details. Obviously, your situation makes sense also and it should be implemented somehow. There exists a workaround which is not 100% correct (some issues with transparency), but in general should work. It is adding map, that you want to show in offset as a preview in another offset with negative shift to original. See attached example. HTH, S.

I have been trying to show an offset of a lower passage with the outline of the higher passage also shown on the offset.
So the main plan shows the high level in detail with the grey shadow of the lower passage. I would like the offset to show the detail of the lower passage with the outline of the higher passage. To do this I tried the following map structure.
map keyhole1LLM #lower level map keyhole1ps3 break keyhole1ps5 break keyhole1ps4 keyhole1ps7 break keyhole1ps6 keyhole1ps8 endmap map keyhole1HLM # high level map keyhole1ps1 break keyhole1ps2 endmap
map keyhole1M # combined map – not used keyhole1HLM break keyhole1LLM endmap
map keyhole1LLpreHLM # lower shown, higher outline keyhole1LLM preview above keyhole1HLM endmap
map keyhole1Moffset # higher shown, lower grey - offset only lower shown ??? keyhole1HLM keyhole1LLpreHLM [-10 50 m] below endmap
The map keyhole1LLpreHLM shows what I want to offset with the detail of the lower passage and the higher in outline. But when this is offset the higher outline vanishes! Is the preview command the way to go about this or is it not possible at present?
