grlevel3 questions

[MG Jennings]

I downloaded grlevel3 to see if I like it. I have a couple of questions for anyone kind enough to assist me.

1. I have been watching a couple of storms in Texas. When I turn on storm attributes, I see the cells listed; however, I see no cell Id's on the storms. What might I have forgotten to do?

2. Somewhere, while punching buttons, I found a feature that appears to allow you to mark sites and take distance measurements. I can't find it again and do not know for sure what the function is.

Thanks

I don't believe GR3 will show you storm IDs on the display. What you can do to quick view them is to check the box marked "Storm Tracks" that is next to the radar window to turn storm tracks on. Then just mousing over the root of the various SCIT vectors will bring up a text box that will tell you the storm ID. You can also determine storm ID by double clicking on the line of information for a given cell in the Storm Attributes window.

You can measure distance by right-clicking anywhere on the display and selecting "place marker here". A red dot will pop up where you clicked and any further distance measurements displayed at the lower right of the radar window will be distance from that spot.

If you have more questions about how the software works, I would suggest posting on the Trial or owner forums for the GRLevelX software. That's really the best place for these kinds of questions (but of course you're welcome to ask here, too. Many people will know the answers to many of these basic GRLevelX questions).

There is a forum that is dedicated to GRLevel3 (Google is your friend here - as I don't use that site anymore). But I would just start out by using it for a few days and play with the functions and get used to where everything is - first. True, some of it is a bit cryptic. But most of it is intuitive and time spent getting familiar with it will yield the fastest results.

There are other weather softwares available; but GR3 is definitely the best to work with still - IMO.

Thanks so much for the assistance....I did't think to go back to right click....I have been using stormlab for awhile and a few things are different, as expected.
