[Therion] Embedded image does not appear in some layouts

Tarquin, I had confused the meaning of "extended" and "elevation" 
scraps.  What I really want is "elevation" where there is no projection 
on a specific bearing.

I completely agree with your wish about the handling of select/unselect 
pairs.  Maybe in version 7 ???
