Greetings,
I loaded a scalar data (defined on a 3d grid) into paraview 3.10.1. When 
i try to change "Representation" to "Volume", i get the error:

Cannot volume render since no point (or cell) data available.

But this can't be true since the "Information" tab shows that:

Statistics:
type:Image(Uniform Rectilinear Grid)
Number of Cells: 2048383
Number of Points: 2146689
Memory: 1.6e+02 MB
and the data arrays do show the 2 dataitems that i read in; a scalar 
data S and a tensor data Q

hmm..any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks in advance for the help.
