Hi, Martin - You have an excellent idea here! I did not think of using alternate units.
Unfortunately - it does not work. When I put "-value [6 in]" on a point and compile the map, it displays as zero. I suppose I could convert the entire map to inches. That would be a pain since there are also 40 foot ceilings in the cave. Could I put in something like "units dimensions feet, inches" in the centreline section? I would rather use metric, as someone suggested. I don't have that option on this map - all the data is in feet and tenths of a foot. Maybe the next cave I do will be in metric.
