function projection_value=project2d(md3d,value,layer)
%PROJECT2D - returns the value of a field for a given layer of the mesh
%
%   project 'value' vector taken at layer 'layer' from extruded 2d-3d mesh onto 2d mesh 
%   used to do the extrusion. This routine is used to compare values between a 2d-3d mesh
%   at a certain layer, and the equivalent value (if it exists), on the original 2d mesh. 
%   This routine relies heavily on projections (contained in 3d model md) recored during 
%   the extrude operation.
%
%   Usage:
%      projection_value=project2d(md3d,value,layer)
%
%   Example:
%      vel2=project2d(md3d,md3d.vel,2);
