Hello everyone - I have not been putting elevation profiles on my maps for several years because it is such a pain to do in Therion. The time has come where I need to start adding them to several maps in progress.
In the past I have defined the profile scraps as type "elevation" and given them a viewpoint angle. The profile I am working on now will not work for that because it basically goes around in a circle. There is no viewpoint angle where the entire profile lays out in a line. The plan view is a loop. So for this one I defined the scrap as type "extended". Holy cow, that makes a mess of things! Take a look at the attached file. This is so distorted it is hard to figure out how it relates to the drawing! The stations in this profile go about 3/4 of the way around the circle. The upper half of the resulting map is upside down and magnified about 5 times larger than it should be. What am I missing??? Do I correctly understand that an "extended" scrap should draw just the way it appears on the original sketch? How should I be drawing Maybe I should completely skip using elevations. I can probably make them work by drawing as cross-sections. Indeed, that might be easier to fit onto the final map. I think the only real problem there is whether cross-section scraps can be joined. -- Bill Gee
