I'm with you Tarquin. See my other message (some reason it has not turned up in https://www.mail-archive.com/therion@speleo.sk/) Seems like it is intentional, but it is more complicated than that. This page describes https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/contrib:externalviewers#examples_of_rendering _differences_between_pdf_viewers
I had always thought double rendered translucent objects where the intention, but seems they are not. I would vote for making it an option (not withstanding what you actually see will depend on the viewer used).

Boulders. They are made from line rock-border, which will create a shaded boulder when closed. Make an area of water. Create a line rock-border half-way into the water, and half out of the water, but still in the passage. The boulder is the same colour as the background. Translucent, sitting on top of the water. Set this: color map-fg scrap Still works the same. Now set this: color map-fg altitude The boulder loses its colour, and is nothing more than a thick line, so it stops looking like a boulder. Set this, and the boulder returns to being a boulder: smooth-shading off Is this an intentional change, a known limitation, or a bug?
