[Paraview] Extracting data on the surface of a block?

[Steytler, Louis Louw]

Utkarsh,

The attached state file should work with the data I sent.

Thanks very much,

Utkarsh,

I forget, meant to say blocks 1 and 2 represent the drop. I actually extracted and merged these two in ParaView.

Will send a state file soon, apologies for late, I have been traveling the past two days.

Thanks again,

Louis,

Can you also attach a state file for the vis you're generating
currently, so I get a starting point? I am not sure which block is the
oil drop.

Thanks,
Utkarsh
