color=#0000ff size=2>The problem is that ParaView creates a good scale for your
glyph, using data from time step 0. But, at time step 1, the data can be
totally different. For instance, if you use displacement from time step 0,
displacement will be very near zero for time step 0, and (relative to time step
zero) orders of magnitude larger for time step 1.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

these scales, realizing that this will slow down the initial load times of large

updated and recompiled (so I have the 10:30 am May 5 version) and the problem is
