Hi, newbie Therion user excited by
the prospect of electronic maps
My first steps have been
successful, but Ive got stuck. Im using Windows XP and Xtherion
0.5.1
I can produce centreline plots of
single or multiple surveys from multiple *.th and thconfig files in multiple
directories to *.pdf, *.xvi and *.lox files. That much I seem to
understand.
I can scan *.jpg images of my
surveys and trace them to produce *.th2 files that look fine both in the map
editor and the text editor. I think I understand how this works, it
seems easy enough.
When I place the following in my
surveyN.th file,
input
RBMtestplan.th2
map
m_plan_ent -title "Map plan entrance"
scrap1
endmap
and the following in
thconfig
source
surveyN.th
select
address@hidden
I get one of two results; a) a
line plot that ignores the scrap and produces only a centreline as if the
scrap did not exist, or b) an error; Mostly I get the error; viz
D:\Program
Files\Therion\therion.exe: error -- RBMtestplan.th2 [7] -- invalid length
reading -- -scale
(Sometimes the error is -- invalid
length reading -- -projection)
And the offending line
is;
scrap scrap1 -projection
plan -scale [-128 -1296 880 128 0.0 0.0 25.60 0.0
meters]
This seems to follow the
required syntax, and is generated automatically by the map
editor.
The samples I downloaded work
fine, and I can not see my trial differs
materially.
Both results are
unsatisfactory. I would like a drawing of the
cave.
I suspect I may not be scaling the
sketched survey stations to the centreline survey stations
correctly(?)
Any suggestions what I am doing
wrong?
Any suggestions how I can go about
debugging the problem?
Thanks
