[GRASS-user] face to DEM?

[Adam Dershowitz, Ph.D., P.E.]

Thanks.  I did, but didn't have any luck.  In one case I ended up  
making some pretty art, but it wasn't helpful.  The problem was that  
it included all the stuff outside of the face, as well as "inside"  
where it should have covered and I need.
And I just tried it again, with another simple shape and a different  
map, and this time, even though I first set the region to match the  
input map, I am still getting "strip exists with insufficient data.   
ERROR2:  zero point in the given region!  Input failed."
