Hi Tarquin -
I dislike using extended elevations. The folding that is done to create
the perspective really messes with the presentation. Plain unfolded
elevations are, I think, much more useful.
My comment about joining elevations was related to treating them like
cross-sections. I suspect that scraps of "projection none" cannot be
joined. If they can be joined, then what is the scrap name to use as
parameter to the section point?
Keeping track of multiple thconfig files is a pain. As a big-picture
item - I think that should not be necessary. The fact that it IS
necessary points to some needed improvements. In an ideal world there
should never be a need for more than one thconfig file for each map project.
I use Linux, so the issues with system path are less of a problem for me.

The main problem with it is when I want to join multiple profile scraps.
This is no different than plan view. I have plenty of profile scraps. I
just make sure to avoid confusion by naming my scraps with their
orientation in the scrap names to keep it clear to myself which belong
where:
fooSE256
Then the parent file has:
join fooSE256@entarea barSE256@longbypass
and:
map elevationME256 -projection [elevation 256] -title "MyCave Elevation"
entareaME256@entarea #map of the scraps in entarea
longbypassME256@longbypass
endmap
So far I have drawn only one section of profile for this map. I will
have some others. Finding a way to create a different .pdf file for
them could be interesting.
I have a separate .thconfig for each, which selects the relevant map and
exports it as a PDF:
Elevation256.thconfig
Elevation120.thconfig
Then I have AllVersions.thconfig which contains this:
system """C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe""
Elevation256.thconfig"
system """C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe""
Elevation120.thconfig"
...
(These commands are a lot more readable if you put Therion in your
%PATH%, or if you are using Linux.)
Then I combine these into a single survey PDF by embedding the images,
or into a PDF with one survey per page (using pdftk or pdfjam).
Whichever .thconfig file produces the combined PDF is always the last
one that gets run by AllVersions.thconfig
