Currently paraview supports volume rendering only for multiblock of unstructured datasets.<br>I've added a feature request to the bug tracker.<br><a href="http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=9198">http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=9198</a><br>

<div class="im">Each block is an image data. Should ParaView do a volume render on the multiblock? The FAQ said yes. <br><br>I
can reproduce this outside of my reader as well. Use the mandlebrot
source to make a 3D image the volume option is available in drop down,
then use the group dataset feature to convert this into multiblock and
the volume option disappears.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im">On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 4:26 AM, Utkarsh Ayachit <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com" target="_blank">utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
