I have tried what you suggest, and I'm getting the following error:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
NameError: make2D
I also tried to create a 2D subset of my data and use the Data Transect,
but then I get the following error:

Subject: Re: [idvusers] Data Transect on 3D grid
I agree with Jeff that we could look into adding this, but for now,
here's a way to do it:
- Load in your grid.
- Select the Formulas data source.
- Select the "Grids->Define a grid diagnostic" formula
- Select the "Cross Section->Data Transect" display.
For the formulas, enter make2D(slice)
When the field selector pops up, select the field and the level that you
want for the slice parameter.
That should create the display.
