+    * The structure of the HDF5 file is similar to that described for the ``#geometry_objects_read`` command but contains additional arrays used internally by gprMax. Therefore **this HDF5 file should NOT be modified by a user outside of gprMax** - doing so risks corrupting your modelled geometry.
     * Objects are stored using spatial resolution defined in the model.
