Dear Tone,
    I'd like to plot the Fermi surface using PWscf results. But I got the error
message : " Error reading BANDGRID_3D_ section, while reading"
    I attach my .bxsf file for FCC Al. The words in brackets are my comments,
which were not appear in the actual file. Hope you can give some suggestions.
Thank you so much!
