[Paraview] RE Debugging Why STL file will not load

[Michael Jackson]

I'm writing a Binary STL file which I would think would avoid those types of locale conversion issues but it is always a possibility. I wonder if ParaView assumes an ASCII STL file and not a binary STL file.

I click on the "Information" tab and it says Polygonal Mesh but 0 cells and 0 points. There are no error messages or anything else. Is there something I can enable to try and figure out why nothing is showing up or the read is failing?
