LOADSLICEM reads pressure zone instead of pressure

[obscureed]

Here are some steps to recreate a bug in smokeview:
(1) Run the attached FDS model in FDS6.7.9. (This is tunnel0003.fds, renamed as tunnel0003.txt, but I have seen this bug in several models.)
(2) Run the attached smokeview script ("smokeview -script pressures.ssf tunnel0003.smv"). I've renamed pressures.ssf as pressures.txt for transfer.

You can see that the script asks for slices of pressure at z=1.8m then z=1.5m, using two methods: first LOADSLICE, and then LOADSLICEM on each of the three meshes. It is relevant that both PRESSURE and PRESSURE ZONE slices are saved at z=1.8m, but only PRESSURE at z=1.5m. For the LOADSLICEM method at z=1.8m (time 2.0s), the resulting image displays the PRESSURE ZONE results, even though PRESSURE was requested.

Maybe I should mention that this bug has been around a long time, but I haven't found time to report it until now. It does get in the way of postprocessing sometimes. The LOADSLICEM option is a useful fallback, particularly when a slice seems to have fragmented (maybe into slightly different values near the specified z-value, for example, with multiple meshes at different resolutions). This behaviour of fragmented slices (where LOADSLICE only selects one fragment) is another bug I haven't reported, but I think you're aware of it already.

should be fixed in smokeview posted here.

submit a simple test case that illustrates the fragmentation problem you mentioned and I will take a look at it.

did the smokeview I posted fix your issue?

I've tried that test version of smokeview, and it works on the test case I posted: the result of the script is four images, all showing pressure results, as requested. So I'll mark this issue as closed. Thanks for your efforts!
