[Therion] Extended profile problems

[Bill Gee]

Hello everyone -

I have not been putting elevation profiles on my maps for several years because it is such a pain to do in Therion.  The time has come where I need to start adding them to several maps in progress.  

In the past I have defined the profile scraps as type "elevation" and given them a viewpoint angle.  The profile I am working on now will not work for that because it basically goes around in a circle.  There is no viewpoint angle where the entire profile lays out in a line.  The plan view is a loop.

So for this one I defined the scrap as type "extended".  Holy cow, that makes a mess of things!  Take a look at the attached file.  This is so distorted it is hard to figure out how it relates to the drawing!  The stations in this profile go about 3/4 of the way around the circle.  The upper half of the resulting map is upside down and magnified about 5 times larger than it should be.

What am I missing???  Do I correctly understand that an "extended" scrap should draw just the way it appears on the original sketch?  How should I be drawing

Maybe I should completely skip using elevations.  I can probably make them work by drawing as cross-sections.  Indeed, that might be easier to fit onto the final map.  I think the only real problem there is whether cross-section scraps can be joined.
