[Therion] Extended profile problems

Fri Sep 6 17:26:52 CEST 2019

Hi Bill,

it looks you have not defined „extend“ of centerline in your centerline data. 

Because extend right is default Therion will extend your stations form OC5a to the right, but it has to close the loop and there should be the problem.

Your scrap extended Profile-OC5a-G10 includes stations OC5a to G10, stations OC5a-G are extended to East but stations C9 and C10 are extended to West.

Try to divide that loop to two scraps from OC5a to G8 and G8 to G14 and add extend commands. Not use join commands for first elevation export.

 extend right

  extend hide

flags splay
  G1    G1a    12.9   200    -6.0      -     6.0   20.0 20.0 17.3 4.2

flags not splay

Add command select to your thconfig file

source StarkCaverns.th

select StarkCavernsProfiles at StarkCavernsProfiles

# Load the Metapost code for custom symbols

and add to scrap  G10-G14 (G8-G14) parameter -flip horizontal, because in output it should be flipped.

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.
