[Therion] Lox Model showing walls from wrong side

[martinsluka]

the th2 file is normal text file. you may edit it in standard text editors you may use it to divide one th2 file into two or more th2 files. Just to copy header lines.

Very simple is to create new scrap from part of original scrap in map editor of xtherion, Just create new scrap check the number of line of endscrap command and move to that line number all parts you want they be a part of new scrap.

I have experienced the stretch using 2 points, and where I have tried 
this is always solved by adding more points and scraps were needed, but 
the inside out part I do get more often. I have tried splitting into 
more scraps, and splitting the lines.

The former works totally or reduces the incorrect bit, however a side 
affect is that the model is not as neat as it should be as the lox model 
has a 'step' on the scrap join. As demonstrated by the 2 attached set of 
files.

But currently all this is a bit random, and the moving to a new scrap is 
very tedious, it would be good to have some understanding of the 
problems, so they could be avoided?
