[Therion] Cannot get offset maps to work

[Bruce Mutton]

Hi Bill

Does your previous project still compile and create an offset map?

 

In your thconfig you should make sure you have some things:

*	maps on # [on] off ## Setting maps to off disables all previews and offsets, and only scraps from the selected maps are output.  Survey centrelines included as part of a map are not output.  
*	maps-offset on # [on] off ## Setting maps-offset to off disables all offsets. Maps-offset has no meaning or effect if maps off is also chosen.
*	select MainPlan #otherwise the offsets defined in MainPlan will not be exported

 

I’m also not sure what the effect of:

  A-Survey at CaveSpringCave [0 0 ft] below

will be.

 

Zero offsets are not something I remember trying, but it is probably better not to do this while you are trying to debug your project.

 

Regards

Bruce

Subject: [Therion] Cannot get offset maps to work

 

Hello everyone - Most of my recent questions to this list have generated exactly /dev/null for response.  I hope this one gets something.

 

I am trying to build a map where one section of underlying passage is drawn offset from the main map.  I have done this before and it worked. 

This time therion is completely ignoring the offset parameters.  What am I doing wrong?

 

The portion that I want to offset does get drawn, and it is drawn below as I specified.  It just does not get drawn offset.

 

I tried taking the offset out of the list.  Therion complained about that.  I tried offsetting the other two partial maps, and that does not work.

 

The last time I compiled a map with an offset, I was using therion 6.1.8 on Fedora 38.  Now I have 6.2.1+dev on Fedora 41.  Did something change between those two versions that affects how this feature works?

 

I attached the .th file to this message.

 

Thanks!
