I seem to have gotten it work. However, I'm wondering if there's some setting I can change such that it only gives the cell that contains my point instead of 15 of them...<br><br>Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!<br>

Hi Andy,<br><br>I'm trying to follow your instructions, but had some trouble with it. By fiddling around I got the cell which contains my point of interest (by location, the point is not a node) to be highlighted. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to get the Cell ID of the highlighted cell? I'm using version 3.6.1.<br>
<br>Thanks!<br><font color="#888888">Karen</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 6:48 PM, Andy Bauer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andy.bauer@kitware.com" target="_blank">andy.bauer@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm not sure this is exactly what you want but you can select a point/cell and then go to selection inspector and go to the point label/cell label tab and toggle the visible button to show selected point or cell ids. The selection inspector also allows you to "select cells that include the selected points".<br>
<br>Hope this helps.<br>Andy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div>On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 5:30 PM, Karen Lee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kylkaren@gmail.com" target="_blank">kylkaren@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Dear Paraview users and developers,<br><br>I'm interested in finding the element number (ID) that's closest to, or containing a given point, or by clicking on the element itself in the diagram (2D cut of a 3D mesh). This seems to be a simple question but I haven't figured out. Can someone pls help?<br>
<br>thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Karen<br>
