Hi Alan, I can't tell what type of blocks are in the multiblock data set of can and disk_out_ref but I'm guessing some of them are either unstructured or polydata and if they are, those options get disabled since they're only available for topologically structured input grids.
As for the contours of wavelet, I didn't check that out before but that's a good point. I'm playing around with adding normals for unstructured grid inputs since the current set up doesn't allow that but maybe it should.
