<blockquote type="cite"><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">That is one of vtk's regression tests. To enable it you must first build vtk/paraview from source with the cmake option BUILD_TESTING on. This particular test might also need VTK_DATA_ROOT set to point to the directory where you've downloaded vtk's regression test data files. Once built, change into the build directory and run "ctest<span></span> -R AreaSel -V" to run just this one test with the verbose output sent to the console.<br>

I am looking around the build directory and don't see an executable, but I do see the CMakeLists.txt file. For what I need to do, it would be sufficient to have an .obj model displayed in ParaView.
