[GRASS-user] displaying volumes from xyz vector in nviz

[ian summers]

Hello Ben,
 
Thank you for your suggestion but when I attempt to run r,to.rast3 I get the 'position not in queue' message again.  I ran v.kernel on the respective slices with st deviation of 5 leaving all other parameters as they were.  Was this correct? Having used the v.info command the layers are 3D. Essentially what I am trying to achieve is a volume cube of loch lomond from x, y, z coordinates. 
 
 I also have dissolved organic carbon data which i was hoping to display volumetrically within this that has x, y, z, DOC columns.  I ran v.vol.rst but it says w column not supported. my data here is:-
 
INTEGER/cat> > > INTEGER/Id> > > DOUBLE PRECISION/X> > > DOUBLE PRECISION/Y> > > DOUBLE PRECISION/Z> > > DOUBLE PRECISION/DOC
 
My main focus is the volume cube of loch lomond. The DOC would be a bonus.
