Hi Dave. Tom & I looked at your bundle and we can visualize the data with no problems. We strongly suspect a memory issue on your IDV instance. Have you tried increasing memory allocated to the IDV? Alternatively, you can try to spatially subset your data under Field Selector --> Right Click on Data Source --> Spatial Subset tab. Try a different stride. Let us know if this helps or if you need additional information. -Julien > > On Nov 8, 2010, at 12:07 PM, Unidata IDV Support wrote: > > > I am not seeing the attached bundle in question.
