[Paraview] View geometry / boundaries

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi Karl,

thank you for your answer.

I have tried what you propose.  I don't really understand what I need all those filters for - the result is pretty much the same as if I don't apply any filter to my stl geometry data. Moreover, I cannot apply a slice filter to the result of the feature edges filter, or at least it doesn't slice.

What I do at the moment is to load my vtk data, then the geometry in stl format, and either apply a slice to each of them, or only to the vtk while making the geometry transparent. This solution is OK for me.

Thank you for your help,

Matthias

Matthias,

What about the following pipeline?

 Load data set
 Filters - Transform - Apply (= identity transform = create a copy)  Filters - Extract Surface - Apply  Filters - Feature Edges - Apply (you may need to fiddle with
                                  the parameters)
   => this should give you a reasonable geometry representation  Select the original data set and apply any filter or select any  representation you fancy

Karl
