[Therion] Multiple layers of overlayed maps

Hello everyone -
Therion 5.3 (stable) running on Fedora 14 ...
I am working on a cave which has a very complex maze area. Basically the maze
area can be divided into either 3 or 4 layers (depending on how you draw it)
which are stacked on top of each other like a cake. I want to produce a map
where the lowest part of the maze displays with the rest of the main passage,
and each higher layer of the maze is offset from the layer below it
So far I have figured out how to get one layer to offset and have its outline
(the "preview", I think) display over the main passage. Now I want to take
the next layer and have its outline display over the layer below. Here is
what I think should happen in the .TH file:
===============
map MainCaveMap -title "Elkton Cave - Plan View" -projection plan
MainPassage at ElktonCave
UpperMaze at ElktonCave [200 30 ft] above
UpperMaze2 at ElktonCave [200 -100 ft] above
endmap
map MainPassage -title "Elkton Cave - Plan View" -projection plan
(many scraps, names removed for clarity)
endmap
map UpperMaze -title "Upper maze area" -projection plan
MazeA
MazeB
MazeA2
preview above MainPassage
endmap
map UpperMaze2 -title "More upper maze" -projection plan
MazeC
MazeD
preview above UpperMaze
endmap
================
When I compile the map, it draws the offset maps correctly, However, ALL of
the outlines are over the MainPassage map. I don't want that ... I want an
outline of UpperMaze over MainPassage, then I want an outline of UpperMaze2
over UpperMaze. I thought that is what would happen with the "preview"
directive.
Does anyone have suggestion?
Thanks - Bill Gee
