<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I don’t think there is a direct way to do that currently. However, I am working on a new feature that will allow you to select the number of subdivisions to approximate each face with from within the Display panel. I expect to have this feature finished by ParaView 3.8. If you are feeling adventurous, you can apply the attached patch to the latest source to try it out.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I have a number of quadratic 20-noded hex elements (type 25 in ParaView). I want the surfaces to be displayed as curved instead of being arbitrarily faceted. Is there a method to achieve this? I've attached a picture of a single element which is faceted and the corresponding vtu file.<BR>
