Hi John, > Please excuse my ignorance in VisAD. Suppose I want to generate a shape with > say a circular base, is it still possible to use gridded3DSet with a manifold > dimension of 2?

Thanks in advance. A Gridded3DSet with manifold dimension = 2 is a rectangular grid of points (like a checkerboard), arbitrarily twisted and warped in 3-D. For radar data it could be a set of radial distances crossed with a set of angles (i.e., the checkerboard would be formed by a set of radial lines and a set of concentric circles). In 3-D circular grid may lie on a cone shape. Good luck, Bill
