> There is one feature I have found that does not work. . One of my four
maps has a section where two passages run pretty much the same way, one
directly above the other. In the single-cave map I handled this by setting
the upper passage off to the side. That does not come through to the group
map. The two passages are drawn on top of each other.

I presume you are now referring to exported map pdf outputs?

I was looking for something that fitted that description in an old copy of
your Big Cavern Ranch project that I got from one of your posts last year,
but didn't find anything.

In general, if you select and export a map that has offsets defined, they
will be honoured.

I you do not specifically select a map with the offsets defined, then the
scraps will be plotted in their true position - no offset.  I do this
intentionally for overview maps of multiple caves, as offsets at small
scales (1:2,000, 1:10,000) provide a misleading impression of the cave.

It seems like you have done this as well, perhaps unwittingly.

Your source BigCavernRanch.th contains a survey named 'all' but there is no
corresponding map defined as far as I can see.  Therefore despite each of
those caves referenced having maps defined, they are not used - every scrap
defined is used instead.  So no offsets.

 

>From the Therion Book.

'select'
Description: selects objects (surveys and maps) for export. By default, all
survey objects
are selected. If there is no map selected, all scraps belonging to selected
surveys are
selected by default for map export.

 

You can easily control what is plotted by defining a 'map all' in your
BigCavernRanch.th file (or elsewhere) and then selecting it in your 'all'
thconfig.
