Hello Grass-users
I'm currently using Grass 5.0.3 (stable) on RHL 7.3, and would like to use
the Grass 'Grid 3D' commands. Does this mean I have to upgrade the whole
installation to Grass 5.3 (was 5.1), or is it safe to add the Grid 3D
modules on as additions to the existing 5.0.3 installation?
Many thanks
Roy

The version of G3D in 5.0.3 has a lot of bugs if I remember correctly. 5.7 is actually what was formerly known as 5.1 and you don't need to make that radical a change just to use the updated G3D:
5.3 is just an update of 5.0. There is now a released version, 5.3.0 (see http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/announces/announce_grass530.html ), which you should try. You can install it alongside 5.0.3---they will install
into separate directories and have different start-up scripts (grass5 and
grass53) so you should be able to evaluate it without disturbing your 5.0.3
installation.

The version of G3D in 5.0.3 has a lot of bugs if I remember correctly.
Many bugs have been fixed in 5.3 (thanks to Alfonso Vitti, Trento).
