Hi @msteckle, the grid limits is essentially the domain of your points and how many interpolated points between them. So if you did, for example, 12 for shape for Z and 0, 6000 for Z grid limits, you would have a point every 500m. Same goes for x, and y. For the 16 sweeps, you would want to see what the max gate z is for the final sweep to capture it. radar.gate_z or radar.gate_altitude['data'].max(), and I believe how often you would like there to be points would be your shape. The algorithms used for gridding, barnes, cressman, nearest etc, finds all gates within a radius of influence for each grid point, and maps each radar gate onto the grid using a radius of influence.

Cheers,
Zach S.
