Hi Bill, maybe this helps note: the whole outline of 2 and 3 appear in 1. maybe you raised an issue: maps at offset with no global preview, so that one can specify to draw partial previews
map main ... map1 map23 [200 30 ft] above endmap map map23 ... map2 map3 [200 30 ft] above endmap map map1 ... whatever1 endmap map map2 ... whatever2 endmap map map3 ... whatever3 endmap On Mon, 2010-12-13 at 11:00 -0600, Bill Gee wrote: > Hello everyone - > > Therion 5.3 (stable) running on Fedora 14 ... > > I am working on a cave which has a very complex maze area.
