Hi Martin -
I tried a few more things based on your suggestions. The first thing I had to
learn was how to get the Survey Structure and Map Structure boxes to populate.
The secret is to run the therion compiler from inside xtherion. I have been
running it straight from the command line. Since Big Cavern Ranch has no
drawings, I did not see any reason to bother with xtherion.
The attached file "selection_002.jpg" shows the survey and map structure boxes.
These both look reasonably sane to me. I have attached the thconfig and .th
file that were used to generate this.
I ran this also with a map defined in the .th file. The result was another
item in Map Structure under "plan which was the name of the map I defined. In
that map were all of the pieces that are also present the other levels under
"plan".
The thconfig file has a line "select AllieMainPlan". I changed that to "select
AllieMainPlan@all" and recompiled. No difference. The resulting map has all
four caves and no offsets. The map structure as reported by xtherion did not
change.
