[IDV #RTV-146864]: Depth

Robbie,

A couple of suggestions. To see if the data have depth, change the viewpoint to
a side view. When I do this, I can clearly see your data beneath the plane of 
the 
earth.

To exaggerate the vertical relief, click the button that looks like a comb
beneath the view point toolbar.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
