<span style="font-size:10pt">That's correct, the 'Extract Surface' filter applied to the UNSTRUCTURED_GRID (vtk file 1) results in more POINTS compared to the POINTS in the POLYDATA (vtk file 2). In addition, the POINTS in POLYDATA (vtk file 2) have some
rounding error so that the location of 'corresponding points' doesn't match exactly.</span></div>

Maybe you've already suggested the right approach: Is there a way in ParaView to extract the nearest neighbor of all the POINTS in POLYDATA (vtk file 2) from the UNSTRUCTURED_GRID (vtk file 1)? I could just write a csv file of the POINTS in the POLYDATA (vtk
file 2) if that'd makes the nearest neighbor approach in ParaView more simple? Thanks.</div>

<div dir="ltr">So you are saying that the ExtractSurface on the Unstructured grid won't produce the same polydata since it will be more refined than your file2? If that's the case, then maybe just looking for point closer could be the solution.</div>
