[Therion] Showing a lower scrap down a pit in an overlying scrap

[Footleg]

So is the advantage of using two maps only so that you can present a
subset of the survey (from the separate map) offset or at a different
scale or similar in the same output PDF? I've not yet got as far as
working out how to combine multiple maps into one output document.
