My guess is that the surface file is not formatted properly and/or does not have the proper geometry in it. Can you successfully run mris_info on it and load it into freeview (freeview -f surface)? When you convert to freesurfer format, try specifying the mgz file as the argument to the --geom flag to pass the geometry into it.

Hi FS list,

I have some infant native space cortical surfaces generated by another software package. I would like to 'paint' them with some volumetric ROIs also in the native space.

I noticed that mri_vol2surf has the "--vol2surf" option, which does not require typical FS output directory structure.

I first converted the vtk surfaces from the other software to FS format. Here, the left hemi surface is called lh.pial and the corresponding volume is subject-168-T1w-iso.mgz (also used as regheader volume). I'm trying abs distance projection with 5mm distance, no projmap (0 as dummy var), and nearest neighbor interp.

I get the errors below. My first guess is that using the native volume as the 'reg' argument is the issue, but any feedback is welcome!

Searched a bit, but the "could not allocate xforms" error only comes up in one other thread on the listserv, and it's about mri_convert, not mri_vol2surf.

Thanks,
Jim H.
