<p class="MsoNormal">Both versions (on both computers) allow me to visualize my sample model.vtk file: in RenderView I can do Threshold, Slice and Clip and see some 3D pictures. But something is wrong with my other sample data.vtk file (or, with my approach?).
It contains data points (3 coordinates) and the resistivity values assigned to them. When I open it, I can see only the resistivity colorbar, and I can add axes, but the image stays empty. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect that you do not have any cells in your 3-point data.vtk file. Without cells, there is nothing for ParaView to visualize. This is a common stumbling block for people trying to visualize point data.I suggest after loading your data
applying a Glyph filter. It should show you three spheres colored according to your resistivity array. Now you should be able to apply the Threshold and Slice filters as you would expect.<o:p></o:p></p>
