[Paraview] Problem of Block Selection

[Richard GRENON]

Hello.


Many thanks to Karl König for his info on the bug about "Show Frustum" 
in the Selectio inspector.

But I have another problem related to Selection with a Frustum in 
Paraview: I have a complex multi-block surface geometry and I want to 
select all blocks inside or intersecting the rubberband frame drawn when 
I drag the mouse.

I am using the "Select blocks" mode, but the problem is that I get only 
the VISIBLE blocks!  And it is not always possible to get a point of 
view where all searched blocks are visible.

Then I have to search for the missing blocks in the Selection inspector: 
I check each block one by one to highlight it and see if it is a missing 
block. This is a rather long task if there are many blocks ( > 300) and 
if the missing blocks are very small.

So my question is : is there a method to get all blocks in the selection 
like cells inside a Frustum in the "Select cells through" mode ? If not, 
it would be nice to have such a "Select blocks through" mode in a next 
release.

Richard.
