[Paraview] Bug with the trace tool : Exporting view instruction not repeatable

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Silvère,

There was a bug in the code that traced it where it picked up an
incorrect property name. As a workaround, you can change the
"Rasterize3DGeometry" to "Rasterize3Dgeometry" (note the different
case).

e.g.
ExportView('/tmp/sample.pdf', view=renderView1, Rasterize3Dgeometry=0)
