<div>Utkarsh,</div>
<div>I have been looking at initial representations for different data types, and have been looking at file pqPipelineRepresentation.cxx, function <font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">pqPipelineRepresentation::setDefaultPropertyValues()</span></font><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">.
At present the only data</span></font><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">set types that start being displayed as Surface are </span></font><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">VTK_POLY_DATA</span></font><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">,

<div><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">The reason this is coming up is that Wavelet always starts as Outline, as does all CTH AMR data. I had thought that it was due to the dataset’s size, but it is actually be design for these
datatypes. Thoughts? </span></font></div>

<div><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">I would make the mods myself, but don’t really understand all of the VTK data objects. Thus, I am thinking one of you guys should look at this. These are found in vtkType.h.</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Let me know what you think, and if you want me to do anything. Thanks,</span></font></div>
