Hi Thomas, The command for this is "vop add" which allows you to add any number of maps on the grid defined by some map. vop add #1,2,5 onGrid #7 The problem comes when you don't already have a map with the desired resulting grid (number of planes, spacing, and location in space relative to other maps). Unfortunately there is no simple way to produce an empty grid with your desired specifications. I've been meaning to add a command to do this. My current hack way to achieve this is to use the volume dialog Subregion Selection panel to drag a box for my new volume, rotate it, resize it as desired, and set the sample voxel size, and press Crop. If I want the volume to contain all zeros I move the box to have no intersection with the original volume. I'll think about the command syntax, maybe a "vop zeros" command to make a new grid using typed parameters. Maybe I can add this to the daily builds soon. I'll let you know after some thinking. Tom

Hi,

I was wondering, whether a 3D map can be placed into a box with a user defined number or x/y/z planes ? Ideally, I would like to place several 3D maps into boxes of the same dimensions and would like then to merge all maps into one 3D map file. Is this possible ?

Tx for your fast answer, Best, -Thomas
