<div>I believe Alan is right. The cell to point operation performs something of a low pass filtering of the data, meaning that extrema get smoothed out. It is entirely possible that is happening here.</div>

<div>It is strange that you cannot color by the point density. I would expect that to be output by the filter. </div>

<div><base href="x-msg://124/">I did notice that. It does not allow me to color by point density. I don't think the values really vary by that much near the isosurface, but I might be wrong.

Since you should have it available (coming out of the cell to point filter), how about coloring by point density? (You can tell by the cute cube in front of the density variable – points look like ... um ... points.) That’s the only thing I can think of...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
