Hi Henry
Both the suggestions that Martin has just
made are good ones.
Within a single th-config file, all select’s
are merged (as many as you want) to produce composite outputs. You can
include any or all of ‘model’ and various ‘projections’
(plan, extended, elev 0 deg, elev 1 deg, elev 2 deg …elev 359 deg) and I
generally do (but limit myself to no more than 3 elevation projections). The
selections for one projection are of course never mixed with other projections.
And so you would then export a map for each projection (from a single th-config
file)
And using Martin’s technique you can
get therion to insert a map of one projection into the map of another.
Regarding my LayoutMapThisCave and
LayoutMapThisCavePlan , LayoutMapThisCaveElev090 etc…
This construct allows modular usage of
layout statements, ensuring consistency across all th-config files, all
maps for a cave system and avoiding need for typing the same layout statements in
multiple places.
Cave wide parameters are put in LayoutMapThisCave
Projection specific parameters are put in
the others (such as rotation, header content and header position).

Thanks
Bruce, the “Survey” option in the MAP syntax is a really good place
for me to start.
Ultimately
it would have been great if I could use a different layout file for different
caves/surveys and then pull them all together in a single PDF. I thought
that is what may be possible with this
export map -projection plan \
-layout
LayoutMapThisCave \
-layout
LayoutMapThisCavePlan \
-output
../Output/MiddleEarthPlan.pdf
http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/outputs
However
this just appears to work with a single declared MAP. In which case
I’m struggling to see the usage case for this construct. What
I’m looking for is a UNION command to join two or more SELECT statements.
(or confirmation that this can’t be done).

Pg 31 of Therion Book. You can
specify a survey when you define a map. If you do that then the reported
map statistics are forced to match those of the survey. This would
satisfy your second suggestion.
Alternatively you could ‘preview below’
the ‘other caves’ and then their statistics will be automatically
suppressed, and it would be clear what the statistics refer to.

Trying to
export a survey that is primarily one system but also show the other smaller
caves in the area. Easy to do in a single map but then the statistics
reflect all the surveys. Is it possible to export to pdf multiple
maps?
Or is there
a workaround? Such as telling therion to olnly pick up length and team from a
specific branch?
Thanks,
