Hi Bill I think I see your problem. I will potter around with the example you sent to demonstrate what I think you want, but maybe not tonight.
For now, you can avoid the 'object not found' error by double clicking on the survey or map item on the right-hand side of XTherion. For example it places... select AllElevations.map at PracticeCave ...at the cursor position in the th-config file. And, if you select multiple maps of one projection, they will all be used in the export for that projection. -Plan is a projection -Extended is a projection (developed or straightened out elevation) see http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/faq#projections_plan_elevation_extend ed_and_none -Elevation is a default for [elevation 000 deg] ie 'looking north'. So assuming there are 360 degrees in a circle there are 360 different elevation projections. If all your elevations have the same projection, all the elevation maps will end up in the same pdf (unless you modify the th-config between runs or use multiple th-configs as Rowena suggests). I will modify your example to demonstrate using two elevation projections (without resorting to indexes).

I used "elevation" as the projection type on all of my elevation scraps. Is that wrong? The Therion book is not clear about the difference. I have read Martin's reply several times, but it is rather terse and I am having trouble understanding what he is saying. There is something simple I am missing.
