svn Revision	Date (YYYY/MM/DD)	Author	PALM version	Type	Description
Changelog not available	Changelog not available	Changelog not available	5.0	B	SVN commit message: Changelog not available. (init_3d_model) (Usually, array 'rmask' used to set-up statistic regions is initialized in routine 'user_init'. To correctly set-up grid-point arrays used for horizontal averaging, it is necessary to call 'user_init' before doing this.)
