Hi Mike,
    The volume display of level2 data in the IDV is available, you can do the 
volume scan and isosurface, the information is in the user guide.

Maybe I don't understand the true meaning of your "volume" here. With the 
volume scan I mentioned above, which consist of point rendering of each point, 
you can change the point size to fill the area between the beam lines.
