Hi all In sort of a follow up to my previous mail, I am trying to draw a plan (and elevation, soon) of a cave that is on many overlapping levels that are at about 40 degrees and obscure each other.
One idea was to be able to draw each of the 4 levels with the other levels shown as previews, then have all 4 displaced from each other, so that the viewer could see how it fit together in context for this I tried map ReadsM Reads1M Reads2M [0 25 m] none Reads3M [0 50 m] none Reads4M [0 75 m] none endmap map Reads1M Level1M #[0 25 m] none preview below Level2M preview above Level3M preview above Level4M endmap map Reads2M preview below Level1M Level2M preview above Level3M preview above Level4M endmap map Reads3M preview below Level1M preview below Level2M Level3M preview above Level4M endmap map Reads4M preview below Level1M preview below Level2M preview below Level3M Level4M endmap But when the Reads2M, Reads3M and Reads4M maps are offset the previews are not shown The above is my preferred option, so getting that working would be best, but another option is just to offset all the maps leaving only the previews map ReadsM Level1M [0 25 m] below Level2M [0 50 m] below Level3M [0 75 m] below Level4M [0 100 m] below endmap Which sort of works, but the previews fall off the page, and to get colour by map to work I need to select ReadsM -map-level 1 but then the previews are not shown, what am I doing wrong, how do I get the colours and the previews, help! Even better would be to get the previews the same colour as the maps, but that is probably not a function at the moment colour preview-below map would be a good option, that As a note; it turns out that [0 25 m] is in North/south and East/West direction not X Y of the page, which I can overcome with a bit of maths, but as this seems to be more of a page laying tool I would expect the latter. thanks Andrew
