Hi Stu-

> Institution: UNAVCO
> Package Version: 2.1
> Operating System: linux; mac
> Hardware Information: x86; mac os X
> Inquiry: Sometimes a request to make an image draped over topography creates 
> a flat image.
> 
> The zip file (link below) has data files and 2.1 bundle file for a display 
> including a good image correctly draped over topography. If I remove the 
> image and recreate it, to allow use of transparency, I get a flat image in 
> the bottom of the wire frame box, most of the time. Rarely a 3d image is made.

There is no bundle in the zip file.  Could you add it and update the web link?
This is a listing of the zip file:

$ unzip -l MtStHelens_demo_data.zip

I'm unclear about what you've said above.  Presumably, the bundle drapes the 
image
over topography.  When you remove that display, do you then select the image
again and choose "3 Color (RGB) Image over topography" and select the topography
field?
