Hi,

and ContourPlot3D[] doesn not
accept data on a regular grid anymore ?
My Mathematica 7 does

data = Table[
    Sin[x*y*z], {x, 0, Pi, Pi/8}, {y, 0, Pi, Pi/8}, {z, 0, Pi, Pi/8}];

ListContourPlot3D[data]

and your "coordinates" generation is complete useless.
And it is not better for an interpolation when you remove
values.

Regards
   Jens
