Mark, Are you using the $MODEL/ data directory structure, eg $MODEL/eta, $MODEL/gfs, $MODEL/ruc, etc that is the default for the decoders I provide? If everything is standard as I provide, then I can provide you with a new 5.8.4 binary of Grap which you might want to try. If the problem is directory structure, the same problems would persist.
Steve,I saw on the gembud mail list that someone else was having similar problems to what we were experiencing here.

Vertical cross sections are now working along with all of the other model displays. I thought I had downloaded the current release previously but maybe I jumped the gun a little. I don't recall for sure but at least we have things working now. Thanks for the help.
