[Paraview] How to repeat a 1 deg segment to produce larger angles

[Wayne Wu]

Dear David,

Thanks a lot for your detailed suggestions. I will try these solutions
after the result has been prepared.

By the way, if the original result is based on a 2D axial symmetrical
model, can I do a rotation transformation to produce a 3D full cycle
result?

I will see how to submit a user voice to the website.

Thanks again.

Best regards,
