Hi Carina,
You can use the -f option (instead of -v used for volumes) when you are calling freeview from the commandline in order to display a surface and then append :overlay=overlay_filename after the filename to identify the overlay that you want to use. You will need to decide which hemi and which surface you want to use and type the full path to it and the same with the overlay.

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have already run a Monte Carlo Simulation and I would like to upload the results in freeview. The simulation created a file ending with .mgh and the tutorial identifies it to be the overlay. Do I have to upload a surface first and afterwards the overlay? How can I upload a surface and which is the right one? Yours sincerely, Carina
