[Paraview] To improve the surface of a 3D model

Tue Nov 15 06:00:08 EST 2016

Hi Cory,

Thanks for your response.

Well, for the benefit of others i will repeat my question & Cory's response.
So my question was how to change the texture of the 3D model (model can be
seen in my 1st mail)

Cory's response:
*Please see page 60 as numbered on the pages (page 74 in the PDF) in the
ParaView Guide to see how:*

*http://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.php?submit=Download&version=v5.0&type=data&os=all&downloadFile=ParaViewGuide-CE-v5.0.0.pdf*
<http://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.php?submit=Download&version=v5.0&type=data&os=all&downloadFile=ParaViewGuide-CE-v5.0.0.pdf>

*The relevant text is copied here for your convenience:*

*Properties under the Miscellaneous group include Pickable. Uncheck this if
you want the dataset to be ignored when making selections. If the dataset
has a texture coordinates array, you can apply a texture to the dataset
surface using the Texture combo-box. Choose Load to load a texture or apply
a previously loaded texture listed in the combo-box. If your dataset
doesn’t have texture coordinates, you can create them by applying one of
Texture Map to Cylinder, Texture Map to Sphere, or Texture Map To Plane
filters.*

Thank you once again Cory for your response. Appreciate it.
