Sam,<div><br></div><div>While that would work, my goal is to maintain 1 data file. The two files I attached are the same except one has lines and one doesn't. I only included both so it wouldn't be necessary for you to delete the code yourself. Eventually, there is more I would like to include in this file (node numbering, cell numbering, tangent and normal vectors on the lines(the lines are meant to represent crack fronts). </div>

Your question is not entirely clear to me. Possibly the simplest way
is to use two separate *.vtk files, one that only has the lines and
the other that only has the "Rect's." ParaView will read both files
and display the results either overlaid or in two separate views.
You can then apply the 3d-arrow normal glyph filter (and other
filters as well) to each file separately.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

<div>I am trying to get Paraview to represent the cell normals
through 3d-arrow normal glyph filter for the following file.
The cell normals should all appear in the +Z-Direction but the
lines I have included are causing certain normals to be
affected. If I remove these lines, the normals are represented
correctly. Is there a way I can include the lines in my data
file but not have them be an input for the normal glyph
filter? I have included a file with the lines and without the
lines. By using the default Normal Glyph filter in Paraview,
the arrows should be different. Thank you for your help</div>
