[Therion] Best practice - orientation of original sketch? (Bill Gee)

Hello everyone - I started this thread, so I think I need to jump in with some additional comments! :-) For me, the starting point for the discussion is a project I am working on where there will be multiple maps produced from the same sketch data. I am doing a set of maps in Therion, and

2015-12-25 Thread Jonny Prouty
In theory I try to be economical with my paper usage and align the passage sketches such that they will nicely parallel the edges of the paper I'm using. In the southeastern USA where I am this means that passages often trend along NE/SW or SE/NW, so north would be rotated 45 degree (clockwise or a

Hello everyone - This is not really a Therion question. It is more of a general survey question. Therion is sort of involved in the situation, though ... When you are drawing the sketch in the cave, is it normal to ALWAYS make north the same direction on each sheet of paper? What is conside
