You cannot name blocks with a filter but you can name them if the reader supports this feature. I believe a few readers support this feature - the EnSight reader for example. I don't think the X3D exporter knows anything about blocks though. It exports the scene directly and the geometry from the blocks is merged before it makes it into the scene.<br>

<br>Dear ParaView users,<br><br>I would like to know if it is possible to give names to blocks of data?<br><br>For instance, I created a box and a cone using the adequate sources.I used then the "GroupDatasets" filters.<br>
With the obtained multiblock dataset, may I keep distinction between the box and the cone in ParaView, and may I give them a understandable name?<br><br>Basically, I would have liked when using the "extract blocks" filter having displayed the name of the blocks for instance.<br>
(I send you a picture of my test: the filter names box_and_cone is actually a "group datasets" filter)<br><br>The need behind is actually to create a test data for X3D display.<br>Will then it be possible to export the data obtained as X3D file keeping track of the objects as different ones (because in ParaView, they are different blocks)?<br>
<br>I thank you in advance for your help.<br>Best regards,<br><font color="#888888"><br><font color="#888888">Pierre<br>
