Since the selection stuff is somewhat new I'm not sure how it worked in 3.6.1. In the latest version in the selection inspector you can highlight cells/points and use delete, delete all, and/or new value to the list of selected objects.<br>
<br>You can also play around with the selections in the spreadsheet view (there's a green dashed box button widget that will only list selected points or cells). The selections between the spreadsheet view and 3d view are connected so selecting in one selects in both.<br>

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!<div>

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><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>
