Hi Kevin,

Now, on to the "surfaces do not contain the same number of nodes"
message.

Was the exact message "** invalid surfaces, different # nodes"?
If so, what were the numbers? If not, can you display the actual
message?

In any case, if your surfaces do not have the same number of nodes,
then they should not have the same Local Domain Parent. What is
the "/subject/SUMA/SAME" file that you are using for your LDP? It
should really be one of the the 3 surfaces that are mentioned in
the error message (white, smooth, pial). Those 3 would share an
LDP and would be geometrically correct.

-------

But I see that having these three share an LDP is the natural result
after running freesurfer, afni will end up complaining, and will
probably ignore the pial surface (the last one in the spec file),
which is bad.

Ziad and I will ponder this.

Thanks for the message,

- rick
