Hi Stu-

> bottom of the wireframe box is 500 km below the surface, to plot earthquakes.

> A workaround is to set the bottom of the wireframe box at 0 km minimum; you

It's on our list of things to do. Not sure when we can get it done.  If
you'd like to take a stab and contribute it back, that would be great.

The code is mostly all there.  The sticky issue is when to show the slider
because a field can be 2D alone (which is when you want it), or it can
be 2D draped over topography.  You'd also have to account for the case
where the user changes the parameter to a 3D field and then you'd have to
reconfigure the display control window to show the level selector.
