The reason is very simple. In the original scan - it was drawn on the border of the paper rotated 90degrees to the plan. The plan was drawn beside. And I was too lazy to split this scan into two separate bitmaps and rotate one of them 90 degrees. Now it looks very strange, I agree :(
Ah, I see.
May be if original scan will be included, it can help.
Probably - it's hard to know why it's like that otherwise. Incidentally why is the "load without images" menu option called "Open XP"? It's not at all self-documenting, and even having looked up the function in the manual, the name isn't obvious to me. My best guess is it's short for "Open eXcluding Pictures". I realise you want to avoid turning a menu entry into an essay, but something like "Open without pictures" or "Open (no pics)" would still be reasonably short while making the function obvious.
That would seem to make is much harder to draw unless there's some "view rotated" option, which I can't see to find.
There is no such an option. If you have such a problem (image rotation, scaling, color adjustments), it is very easy to do these bitmap transformations in some picture editor (e.g. gimp or photoshop) and load it into xtherion already prepared. Than you can draw it natural way.
Sure. I only went looking for it because I didn't think someone would have drawn the elevation sideways! Cheers, Olly
