Dear Roxana,

* Naturally. You need to change your plotting plane and/or extends first, before
trying to plot again.

> maybe I did something wrong when I installed the latest version
* That is unlikely to cause your plot error.

> I used this geometry for some other simulations and it was working perfectly
* This isn't anything wrong with your geometry. But something wrong with your
plotting plane and/or extends.

* That's what I meant, " get to the right cut, check the extends and make sure
there's something reasonable to be plotted".

It is not a problem with z plots but a problem with the *cut* and/or *extend*
you specified for your z plots. You will run into the same problem on X-Y plots
too -- if you specify a cut and/or extend where there is no boundary to cut.

Move your plotting plane, or cut, around. If necessary widen the extends. You
should be able to over the problem.

In a 3D geometry we are bound to get cuts where there are no boundaries to plot.
Such are the cuts we cannot expect FLAIR or any plotter to plot.
