Hi Doug - yes they do actually, I was quite pleased. I did some trials with other subjects and the mri_vol2surf all looks good. Very similar to what I had in our in-house software.

Would things be better if I were to isolate each sulcus as a .label and then try the mri_label2label? Someone suggested perhaps the colours are overlapping with the overlay....

The problem is probably that the vol2surf command did not properly
sample the labels onto the surface. Do the labels on subject 00350
surfaces look ok?
