Torsten, 

What about the inclination, is’t it this the problem of horizontal misplacement?

Check the „extend vertical“  command of centerline section in Thbook - it 
solves the problem with vertical shots they should be vertical after 
loop-closure.

If you draw scrap with water area, there is the parameter of line "adjust 
horizontal/vertical“ for line point. It will align the line point with the 
previous one, so the water level should be horizontal.
