[Therion] Area working in file but not in overall

[Footleg]

Hi Andrew,

I did a little playing with your project from SVN, and it points to
your symbol customisation as the potential trigger.
Rendering your project as in SVN I see the same as you. The Frozen
Deep sub map renders the sand fine, but the complete cave does not.

Then I swapped in my own customised symbol set, and it renders the
sand in both surveys.

I've attached my custom layout file. I just included this instead of
your common_layout.th and then replaced the line:

copy common
    with
copy Mat_Std

in your local layout.

Comparing the two PDFs, there are some interesting rendering
differences too. There appears to be some rotation of the entire
survey for a start. Not sure what is causing that. My filled
background colour shows up some quirks in some of the cross sections.
My boulders look nice, but some other symbols in the main chamber get
a bit lost among them (they are there, but not so prominent). You have
nicer ceiling lines (I might borrow them :-)  ). Your x-section near
the label 'Herbert's Attic' contains a boulder, but this is missing on
my render.

One thing the comparison of the two PDFs illustrates is that for these
sorts of detailed surveys you really do need to draw for a specific
symbol set, as a number of things get messed up by my symbol set just
due to positioning and sizing. e.g. Boulder walls in my layout are
rendered larger and obscure passage detail where as yours are much
finer and take up less of the passage width.

I hope some of that helps. I'll email you the two PDFs seperately, as
they are too big to post to the list.
