Hi Javier Garcia,

the Grid 3D Modules are not included in binary releases as the underlying
library contains major problems (confusion of coordinate systems etc.)
Bugs are documented, but we need to find someone to fix that (getting some
consistency into the code).
Exception is s.vol.rst which runs well because it uses a different (older)
method to handle G3D data internally.

You can always get the GRASS source code, compile it and try out.

Sorry for no better news,
perhaps you are willing to help us fixing Grid 3D Modules?
