The IAC's field_2Dto_3D should do it:

NAME
	Field 2D to 3D - converts a field 2D to a field 3D

SUMMARY
	Name	Field 2D to 3D
	Type	Filter
	Inputs	In 2D Field - 	field 2D REQUIRED

	Outputs	Out Field - 	field 3D

	Parameters
	Name		Type	Default	Choices	NONE

DESCRIPTION
	Field 2D to 3D converts its input field from 2 to 3 dimensions,
	and sets the physical-space dimensions to 3-space.  The data
	remains unchanged.  This module is useful, for example, if you
	have a 3-vector 2D field that you would like to view with Hedgehog,
	which requires field 3D uniform data.

INPUTS
	In 2D Field - field 2D
		The field 2D that needs conversion

OUTPUTS
	Out Field - field 3D
		A field identical to the input field with the array and
		physical dimensionality increased to 3.  The data and
		coordinates remain unchanged.

EXAMPLE NETWORK
	This example reads a field 2D and converts it to a field 3D that
	Hedgehog can use, then displays it.
