[GRASSLIST:9380] view surface ffrom below in NVIZ

So, after some workaround I managed to get my cave data into GRASS,
and I can visualize it in NVIZ. The thin is, since it is a cavern, I'd
like to view it from below the topographic surface, but when I change
the Height in NVIZ to a value smaller than the minimum of the surface,
the surface is flipped upside down. NVIZ inverts the situation, so I
end up looking a upside down surface from above, not a correct durface
from below. See the attached files. In the first image, the cave is
below the surface, but with a small change in height, I get the second
image, with the cave above the "inverted"surface.

any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Carlos, this is a known problem with NVIZ (see GRASSLIST:9174).

A workaround is to use the twist slider to swing your inverted image around.
