Hi,
I'm unable to follow your problem description to really understand
what it is that's giving you trouble. Perhaps the best thing would be
for you to create a snapshot image and send it so that we can actually
see what you're talking about. The resolution of the grid doesn't have a
direct relationship with the extent or contents of volume and resulting
displayed isosurface, so I'm not sure why you're listing those details.
The isosurfaces for two files with different sampling rates (resolution)
can vary considerably if you pick an inappropriate isovalue to display
(e.g. one that's in the "noise" for a particular volumetric dataset)
I would suggest rendering the isosurface with a solid surface rather
than points (to start with), and go from there.
Cheers,
John Stone
