Hi, probably it is a very simple question. But I do not get it out. How is it possible to get a plan projection AND a elevation projection (180°) on one map. I have a simple cave with 4 very small scraps with plan projection and one scrap with elevation projection. I have found no example in the wiki, but may be a havn`t searched enough. Regards Markus

i use a "workaround": make the elevation map with empty legend and include it as layout image-map in the plan export. marco
Marcus Use the map-image feature to include one pdf map within the other. It is a little bit hit and miss wrt to positioning, but it works well enough. Unfortunately you will loose the ability to text search in the file that is inserted as an image, otherwise it works very well. In your thconfig export, say, the elevation first, then export the plan. An example #Make elevation first so that it's pdf can be added to the plan export map -projection [elevation 270 deg] \ -layout LayoutMapBulmer_System \ -layout LayoutMapBulmer_SystemElev \ -output ./Output/MapBeautifulBulmerSystem_Elev.pdf export map -projection plan \ -layout LayoutMapBulmer_System \ -layout LayoutMapBulmer_SystemPlan \ -output ./Output/MapBeautifulBulmerSystem_Plan.pdf The layout for the plan should include a map-image statement inserting the elevation. map-image 0.8 103 sw "./Output/MapBeautifulBulmerSystem_Elev.pdf" #0.8 needed to align plan & elev vertically in this case for some reason.

I see I gave a similar answer a couple of years ago. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.therion/1682/match=map+image
Many thanks, Bruce and Marco, for that very fast answer! It works, but if I plot the elevation plan with annother orientation as 0DEG than I missed the Walls?

Not exactly sure what you mean, but I'll have a go. If you have drawings with one projection - say 180 deg, then these cannot generally be output to another projection, say 0 deg, without lots of distortion. One would think that this particular case would be a mirror image, however from memory many versions ago I accidentally did this with background images, and they displayed upside down. You need to prepare separately scraps and maps for each projection (plan, elev000 deg, elev180 deg, elev090 deg etc). They can all be exported with a single compile of a thconfig file however. As map-image has no scaling or rotation features you might not be able to get what you want on a single map output with a single 'set and forget' sequence in the thconfig, but manual passes with intermediate editing of the files would add complete flexibility.
