[Therion] ***UNCHECKED*** Re: How to rotate XVI?

[alastair gott]

Hi Torsten,

As far as I know the command "elevation" only works when you give it an angle (ie elevation 45 or elevation 315).

The clever guy Mr Tarquin gave me some code to generate a (projected) elevation to an xvi file, he said it could be used with the "select" command.

I guess without giving therion an angle to project the elevation command to it may just default to "elevation 0" (or an elevation facing north).

Looks like an amazing project with some great cavers.

Alastair Gott.

Subject: [Therion] How to rotate XVI?


Hello

I have a cave system in a plan view and also an elevation view from the main passage. This main passage is heading west-east.
Both maps are compiled into one final map.
(http://www.thehiddenriverproject.org/downloads/Reseau_de_lOuysse_Copyright.pdf)
Beside that I would like to add a side passage which is heading let's say north-south also in elevation view into the final map.
Therefore I would like to draw an elevation map of only this side passage with point of viewing from west to east.

I selected all the measured survey lines from only this side passage and wanted to have the resulting (elevation) XVI file rotated 45 degree (counterclock wise). I do get a correct XVI file with only the side passage but not rotated.
I tried to use a layout for the XVI export and within that I used the "rotate" command.
But it didn't work:

select line....
select line....
export map -fmt xvi -proj elevation -layout layout_xvi -o ....

layout_xvi
  scale 1 200
  units metric
  rotate -45
endlayout

Is it possible to get a rotated XVI file (elevation view)?

regards,
Torsten
