[David Thompson]

Hi Mary,

Try clicking the small gear icon in the property panel. That should display the advanced settings like value range.

I know there was a problem with some volume rendering for older versions of OpenGL.  This should be fixed for PV 4.3.0.  Note that the next version of ParaView will require a somewhat newer version of OpenGL than PV 4.3.0, so if this is the problem, you are on borrowed  time for volume rendering and opacity rendering.

On the second computer, a laptop, the opacity changes just fine, however, for creating multiple slices, the Value Range field is missing (under the Properties tab for Slice 1, immediately under the "Triangulate the slice" option). How do I get it to show up? I have tried quitting and restarting, and also tried ParaView 4.3.0 and had no success.
