<div dir="ltr">Yes, I was getting that something like that. Even if I have a 2D slice, still I am visualizing/analyzing the figure in a 3D format. Is it possible to just treat it as a 2D object (get rid of all the 3D objects around). Even when I snap the camera to the plane's normal, to get the value of a point on the slice I need to specify (x,y,z). Ideally, I want to probe into the contour values, use tools like "Probe" and "Ruler" on the slice just by specifying the coordinates (x,y) and not (x,y,z).</div>

<div>I'm not sure what you're going for
here...a slice is a 2d plane... can you give some more detail
about what you'd like to accomplish? do you mean snap the camera
to the plane's normal?<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
the first thing that comes to mind is the spreadsheet
view which lets you look at numerical values of the
data. You can use it in combination with selection to
interactively, using the mouse, identify the subset of
cells/point you are interested in, all without knowing
exact coordinates.<br>

Does that help?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>when I extract a slice from a 3D data, how
can I look at the slice as a 2D plane/object?
That is to say, how can I do things like
probing, finding the variable value at different
points on the slice without giving its 3D
coordinates, because its not convenient to find
out the exact 3D coordinates of points on the
slice.</div>
