> Hello,

> IDV seems to ignore the isosurface value selected in the Level tab. For
> example, when I select a geopotential height at isobaric surface to
> display at some initial value, say 700 hPa, IDV creates the surface and
> gives the value in gpm (say 8388.5 gpm). No matter what value is
> selected in the Level tab I get a gpm of 8388.5. If I later adjust the
> surface value using the slider it does alter the surface correctly.

Hi Gary,
     The isosurface is a 3D volume display, it will ignore the level. I am 
guessing that what you really wanted was a 3D surface display, not isosurface 
display.
