[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Cylinder axis for slices spatially limited within bounding box

[Scott, W Alan]

Felix,
Complicated answer to a simple question.  Here goes.

The cylinder slice and clip were added in 4.4.0.  The error you ask about below is in ParaView 4.4.0.  It was fixed for PV 5.0.0.  You may want to upgrade to ParaView 5.0.0.  However, in researching this issue, I did find a few annoying issues, and wrote up bugs.  They are here:  http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=15985 and  http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=15984.  Fixes are scheduled for next summer.

Alan

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Cylinder axis for slices spatially limited within bounding box

Hi there,
I've just tried the new slice type "cylinder" and can observe a strange behaviour (bug?).
I'm post-processing a one-sector jet engine turbine and the engine axis is "far away" from the visible geometry and thus outside its bounding box. I'd like to make a cylinder-slice whose axis is the engine axis and radius something between turbine hub and shroud radius. And it's impossible... The resulting cylinder axis stays fixed on one face of the bounding box!
Does somebody observe the same behaviour ? Is there a workaround?
Tanks for your help!
Felix
