Re: [idvusers] Unable to create working 3D netcdf field

I've placed a copy of a file getting the same error at:
http://fuelberg.met.fsu.edu/pub/wsession/idv_test.nc

This file contains two versions of the extinction 3D field - one using an
arbitrary vertical height coordinate and one using the correct model sigma
coordinates.  Attempting to plot a 3D isosurface with the sigma version
produces the error.

Cheers, WS
