[Therion] Extended profile problems

[Philippe Vernant]

Hi Bill,

Not sure to understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to make the full extended profile of the cave ? In which .th2 is your profile drawing ?

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.

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.
