[IDV #WHD-864047]: IDV - No 3D Display selections showing up from the RUC Model...

Hi Jacob-

> I am accessing the "latest" NCEP GFS CONUS 80km Model Run taken from

You could check if this is fixed by downloading the latest nightly build
from:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly

tomorrow.  We hope to announce a preliminary release tomorrow, so
it is pretty stable.  It would be good to have you test this.
One of the new features in this release is the ability to download
single levels instead of the entire volume which will save on
data transfer time.

If this happens every time, then we'll have to investigate further. 
If it happens occassionally, then there may be a problem with the server.

Great job getting this working.  Let me know if you encounter further
problems.
