I've been running into the problem of how to join scraps at curved
lines as well and had come up with essentially the same solution as
Tarquin. However I sometimes find that the two lines that are joined
at every point still don't follow each other closely enough, leaving
either a gap or an overlap

Indeed, though I did come up with a solution
Solutions of the type proposed (holes in upper scraps so that scrap below is
visible) have their place, and I have done similar myself, using the sorts
strategies discussed.
Nowadays I am reluctant to do such things, as I place a high value on scraps
that are as versatile as possible. The dang
Nice. I had not thought to join all the line points like that. I'll bear
that in mind next time I have a particularly tricky join.

If the two scraps are in the same map layer (i.e. not separated by a break
line in the map definition) then the upper scrap will completely hide any
part of the lower scrap which passes under it. So the lower scrap curved
outline of the pit bottom can be quickly drawn a bit larger than the curved

Many thanks for that.
I was afraid you would answer something like that though. Laborious

Indeed, if the two scraps are joined, then using -outline out creates a
hole which is not colored.
The main problem in this configuration is that the bottom scrap should
close its outline contour using the pit line rather than using an
implicit line connecting the two shortest points where th
I do this sort of thing a lot. You just need an equivalent line in the
lower (blue) survey with -outline out to extend the blue scrap border to
cover the white hole in your plan. I generally use an invisible wall line
(so does not need '-outline out' option specifying) and make it slightly
larger t

Hi Tarquin,
Adding the option -outline out to the (closed) line of your pit on the
top scrap should create the whole that you want in the blue color so
that you will see the green color of the bottom scrap. Personally, I
would not use a line pit in the bottom scrap (this is not a pit on the
