    <font face="Calibri">Hi folks,<br>
      <br>
      I'm developing a pre-processor for a Finite Differences based
      geomechanics solver and I need to clip though my original mesh,
      but for mathematical reasons is desirable that all Hexas that
      weren't touched by the cutting surface remains untouched (not
      triangulated). That's why I'm using </font>               
    vtkPolyData pd = vtkPolyData.New();<br>
    <font face="Calibri"><a class="el"
href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkTableBasedClipDataSet.html"
        title="Clip any dataset with a user-specified implicit function
        or an input scalar point data array...">vtkTableBasedClipDataSet</a>.
      In my initial tests where I cut the mesh with a plane everything
      works fine.<br>
      <br>
      Now I have a cloud of points, which I can triangulate with a
      delaunay2d to form the surface, and I wanted to use that surface
      as the Clipping Function, passing it via SetClipFunction(..). <br>
      <br>
      My first option was to feed a vtkImplicitDataSet with the data
      from my delaunay2d but I keep receiving the error:<br>
      "In
..\..\..\..\vtksource-prefix\src\vtksource\Filtering\vtkImplicitDataSet.cxx,
      line 76 vtkImplicitDataSet (0A17E848): Can't evaluate dataset!"<br>
      in vtkOututWindow.<br>
      <br>
      I'm using C# and this is my code:<br>
      PS: points contains the cloud of points I'm reading from a DXF
      file and I've checked, points are ok, the surface is shown perfectly
      in the render window.<br>
