[Therion] Multiple elevation maps

[Bill Gee]

Hi Bruce and Martin -

It seems I am still missing something.  The trivial example PracticeCave 
compiles correctly and produces two unique elevation PDF files.  However, it is 
not working on my real cave.

I changed all the elevation scraps to "projection elevation".  I put each in 
its own map statement, then used a select statement before each export.  This 
produces two identical PDF files which contain BOTH of the elevation maps.

So then I added a view angle to all of the elevation scraps (two different 
angles) and modified the export command to use the same view angle.  Now I get 
an error:

=============
calculating basic statistics ... done
processing extended elevation ... done
processing references ... 
therion: error -- MillCreekCave.th [41] -- incompatible scrap projection -- 
Elevation1
writing xtherion file ... done
============

Could there be something in the join statements that is not right?  Each of 
the two profiles in this cave has multiple scraps.  I have to separate sets of 
join statements to bring them together.  It is almost like Therion is trying 
to join ALL of the elevation scraps rather than just the ones I specify.

Thanks - Bill Gee
