[Paraview] Debugging Why STL file will not load

[Michael Jackson]

Figured it out. The issue was obviously in my writer. I was not offsetting into the file correctly to write the data which lead ParaView to basically just read junk data would be my guess and could not interpret it.

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?
