<p>The standard rendering pipeline behind surface, wireframe and points representations extracts the external polygons before rendering. Apply the extract edges, shrink, or glyph filters to see internal elements and nodes.</p>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to inspect a mesh generated with gmsh. To this end, I have saved the mesh in vtk format and opened it with ParaView. The problem is that I don’t see any volume element (or their nodes) in the display, no matter what mode (Points, Wireframe, …) I
choose. If I try “Volume”, I get the message: “Cannot volume render since no point (or cell) data available.”</div>
<div>I have attached a small example. As far as I see with a text editor, there *<b>are</b>* tetrahedra (elements with 4 nodes) in the file. So why doesn’t ParaView show them?</div>
<div>I use ParaView 3.89.0-RC3 (32 bit) under Windows XP.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for a helpful hint…</div>
