Hi Caspar

Usually that means the lh.smoothwm and the lh.sphere.reg don't have the same topology (number of vertices,edges and triangles), frequently caused by one of them having been recreated and the other not. Run mris_info on them and see if they match

Cheers Bruce

External Email - Use Caution Hi! I am having issue with mris_ca_label while trying to apply the Yeo 2011 atlas to single subject surfaces. Specifically, I am getting "surface doesn't match" from mrisReadTriangleFile and "could not read spherical coordinate system" from mris_ca_label. lh.smoothwm and lh.sphere.reg both exist in the specified places. It does not matter from where I run the below command. I also tried adding -sdir, which did not change anything. It happens with v5.3 and v7. I have seen a couple of bug reports on this specific error, but no solution other than re-running recon all, which is not an option in my case. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! Caspar
