Hi Jürgen,
a defect with 48000 vertices is huge (1/3 of the cortex). Check to make
sure that the skull and cerebellum aren't attached to the filled volume and
that the hemispheres are properly separated.
cheers,
Bruce

Dear FS experts
I tried to reconstruct the surface models of a patient's brain with large
anomalies (see attachment). There is a large topological defect which FS
cannot fix. FS failed with the following error message:

Any suggestions? What does bus error mean? How does I can force FS to
correct this large defect?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jürgen
