So that would be a solution to Bill's problem, of combining separate
surveys of a single room into one scrap. (Think someone mentioned this
in that thread too...)

Just need to set the -name property correctly for each survey station
(like 1 at subsurvey1) if you end up using the resulting .th2 from a parent
survey that has access to all of the subsurvey data.

And if they are paper drawings, perhaps morph (warp) them first using
the instructions from earlier mails in this thread.

This has been a hugely useful learning exercise :)
