[Paraview] PV 4.1 how to extract a surface

[Stephen Wornom]

Thanks Samuel, 
The clip function does what I want. 
The steps that I used are: 
1-select extract surface 
2-select conductivity 
3-clip (to remove the x-right face) 
4-clip (to remove the x-left face) 
5-clip (to remove the y-top face) 
6-clip (to remove the y-bottom face) 
7-slice (to get the 2D circle)

Stephen, 

Does not ParaView's Extract Surface filter give what you are looking to obtain? 

The result of the Extract Surface filter can also be trimmed visa the Clip filter.

The mesh is 3D unstructured about a 3D cylinder. I would like to extract the surface of the cylinder. 

I have experience extracting surfaces with another code where the surfaces are defined by a variable (-3= cylinder surface). 
I do it like this: 
1-select extract surface 
2-select conductivity 
3-select threshold (choose -3 which corresponds to the cylinder surface). 

but I am using a code where the cylinder surface is NOT a predefined variable. 
How do I do I extract the surface? 
Hope my question is clear, 
Stephen
