Assuming your x,y,z-origin is at the center of the ellipsoid, and
you are using PV version4.3.1, you might be able to do the
following: <br>
<br>
If you want to display these two objects at the same time, use the
"eyeball" in the Pipeline Browser to turn off the hex mesh, then use
the Calculator filter just on the quad mesh to shrink its
x,y,z-coordinates by, say, 0.99. This will "pull" the quad mesh just
inside the hex mesh. You can then do whatever variable display you
like on the objects.<br>
<br>
If you are going to this display several times, the pipeline can be
saved with Save State.<br>

<p>Hello Community,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have a question concerning rendering in Paraview (Version
4.2.0). <span style="font-size: 10pt;">I</span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;"> have two </span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">.vtk files: i) an ellipsoidal
volume geometry of hexahedral cells</span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;"> (cell type = </span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">12</span><span style="font-size:
10pt;">) and ii) the internal surface of the ellipsoidal
geometry represented using </span><span style="font-size:
10pt;">quadrilateral cells (cell type = 9</span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">). The first one is </span>colored<span
style="font-size: 10pt;"> grey in the attached image, while
the latter one is displayed in blue. </span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">Opening both of them at the same
time leads to a quite confusing representation, which I
don't really understand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the image attached the
quadrilateral surface was opened first followed by the
hexahedral volume. So I can understand why Paraview renders
the left part in the color of the volume, but I do not get
why it splits the rendering and is checkered on the right
side? Is this an intended behavior or might I have made a
mistake? I checked the coordinates of the points in both
files and they are identical. Thanks!</span></p>
