Ah- My build of therion is missing that menu item, which would explain why I was confused. Looks like the Debian build of therion does not have this facility, no doubt due to missing libraries etc. I hadn't realised the model viewer was internal to xtherion. I'll fix that soon. The Therion demo went reasonably well, although it's fair to say that at the moment Tunnel is easier to use. The comparison was very useful to people I think. I had a lot of trouble with therion 'path not connected' type messages when trying to create the demo. We need to work out some much more reliable way of getting error information to users. Currently if you do something wrong with area paths or joins that don't work you effective get an error of 'something is wrong somewhere' which is hopeless if you have just drawn a big chunk of cave. Even when there is a simple error, the error gives the line number; whilst the xtherion viewer shows 'item number' next to each entry - there is no way to relate these. As the whole thing is integrated it could easily show you the offending line - or even put you there in one of the windows.
