http://www.planivy.cz/aktivity/47/planivy_mapa.png The elevation profile is the bottom part of this map. It is similar to a cross-section except it goes along the survey centerline. 1) When creating the scraps, are these defined as "elevation" or as "extended"? I cannot find anything in the Therion book which describes what the difference is. 2) How are these included in the main map? As best I can figure, I need to define a new layout for the profile, export it, then use some sort of image or include to get it to show up on the main map. If true, then perhaps I need to create a new thconfig file just for the profile. Is this illustrated with any of the samples that come with Therion? I looked at some (not all) of the samples and did not see anything obvious. Thanks - Bill Gee Hi Bill Yes that's an elevantion. Whether it is extended or projected depends on how you set it up in the first place. Are you importing paperless data from pocket topo, in which case I suggest you use Andrew Atkinson's Topparser to import your data and set you files up properly. We use a single thconfig file which generates the elevation pdf and then imports it (as a pdf) into the image being generated for the plan (or vice versa, either can work). I suggest that you look at the Cheddar catchment stuff at http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/CheddarCatchment/ particularly the file http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/CheddarCatchment/thconfigres+whitespot or for a slightly simpler alternative, the file http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/CheddarCatchment/Spider/thconfig Graham
