[Paraview] How to Change Default Drawing for A VTK File

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Kent,

Try the following: select 3D View Properties from the View menu, go to 
the General tab, and change the Outline Threshold slider to a value such 
that the number of cells in your unstructured data set is larger than 
the value of the slider.
