Thank for the reply.<br>I am using a netcdf grid file. This file consists of three dimensions. When I open it in paraview the x- and y-dimensions are nicely displayed while the z-variable is colour coded. I, however, would like to display the the z-dimension in z-direction.<br>
<br>Opening the data in 3D mode allows me to rotate the grid as a flat disc but does not give me a 3D effect of the z-dimension. Changing the vertical scale had no effect either. In the Object Inspector>Information>Data Array is the z-dimension listed with z, float, [5.566, 170.259] for Name, Data Type, Data Ranges, respectively. In the Extents field, however, is the Z Extent 0 to 0 (dimension: 1).<br>
Can anybody help?<br><br>xian<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 19 November 2010 13:45, David Doria <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daviddoria@gmail.com">daviddoria@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

</div></div>What is an "nc" file?<br>
<br>
If you click the "split window" button, you can then choose "3D<br>
window". Then when you make the data visible in that window it will be<br>
3d.<br>
<br>
Would anyone agree to a feature request of having the option of<br>
changing the window type, exactly so you can open this type of file<br>
and then just click "3d" without having to open a new window and close<br>
the old one?<br>
