[Therion] RES: Two scraps, one river...

[Paul Karoshi]

Hi Bruce!

> Nice example Paul

Thanks :)
Actually we are working in an area with lots of small caves (pits). So  
I made those files I sent. For a new cave I just need to copy the  
containing folder and then rename files and maps etc. to get a map  
with plan and extened view (xxxx_xx stands for cavename or  
cavenumber). Saves some time.

Usually it works well. Scales match. Print quality is in plan and  
elevation view the same.
Although I would prefer to define that in a similar way as maps are  
defined. That would be a map with scraps or maps of different  
projection types. I do not know if this is easy to realise in therion.

The modification of block field is the one Stefan Oswald did. You can  
adjust the density of blocks there. See:
