Roy, This works for me. Maybe it's because I start with an Exodus file in the beginning that has sidesets declared on it. But if I go through the following with meshtool... everything works fine: meshtool -d 3 -i input.e -o out.xda meshtool -d 3 -i out.xda -o out.e After all of this out.e is es

I've written a little tool to twiddle boundary_info ids based on point location and face normal direction, but I'm using it on a fine mesh where I'd like to visualize the results to verify them. Do we output boundary ids to gmv/tecplot/vtk/whatever? And if so, what's the quickest way to get them
