HI Marcial,

Sorry for all the trouble of sending us this support email. I hope my return 
email will
get to you without problem.

The answer is no of creating the a 3D cross section with time as another axis 
in the IDV. We
can create the cross section or the time-height probe of the wind vector, but 
the combination
is not support in the current release. I will say this is a very interesting 
idea.

Let me know if you have any other support request.

Regard,
Yuan
