Hi Jon,

You might be able to do it by extending visad/java3d/
and overriding its doTransform() method. After the call to
type.doTransform() you might be able to parse the Java3D BranchGroup
in branch, to find the geometry you want. You'd have to know your way
around Java3D.

You could probably do this by computing a derived data object with
a new RealType, whose values = topo - 150m, that is mapped to ZAxis.

To do complex computations with the geometry, you'd probably
have to extract using an extension of DefaultRendererJ3D.
Good luck,
Bill
