[Therion] Lox Model showing walls from wrong side

[Andrew Atkinson]

The process is simple, but in reality, it is tedious, as the 'elements' 
are not always together, so you have to do them individually from then 
map editor, quite often it the next automatically selected element is 
away from the area you are working on, so you have to scroll back. 
Sometimes I am lucky and everything is together and I can edit the text.

Not difficult, but very tedious, avoiding it would be better. Some of my 
files now have scraps of only 2 stations and 5m long, meaning lots of 
joins on the lox model that are not as neat as a single scrap.
