Sorry, but as a newbie, it takes some time to figure out where I'm trying to go :)<div><br></div><div>So, everyone sees the slice, right? When I move up and down the z-axis with the slice, I see the field change especially towards the center. I also played with "box" in the slice type option.</div><div><br></div><div>I was wondering the best way to show the field change as I slide the slice. Would clip still show it? Also, is there a way to show you my Paraview screen? Let me know so I can show you exactly what's going on.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>Jesse</div><div>Jesse<img height="364" width="640" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" apple-inline="yes" id="6AB883EC-5F64-40DC-A450-94BAECEC9A62" src="cid:5DA40FB9-DBE9-4FF4-9CDA-E61758397CDC"><img apple-inline="yes" id="981E41AC-50FC-45E7-AF5A-A3395BEBEF2E" height="362" width="640" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:BC1A8434-C3CB-41EF-8A12-2D7A8A3E1164"><img apple-inline="yes" id="956D3341-9C83-4486-A2EE-06214063D421" height="362" width="640" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:136D9B92-CA6D-46A9-AC03-3653765A931F"><img apple-inline="yes" id="9DC55AFA-1A17-4FA9-AB79-68421B82ED3F" height="362" width="640" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:0651411A-7F26-4E1C-87FB-EFA69CA38375"><br><div><div>On Nov 26, 2013, at 1:18 PM, Moreland, Kenneth <<a href="mailto:kmorel@sandia.gov">kmorel@sandia.gov</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">As with many things in ParaView, there are lots of ways to do what you are<br>asking, each with a slightly different behavior. I'll list through the<br>ones I can think of.<br><br>* Like Utkarsh said, if your data is structured, you can use the "Extract<br>Subset" filter. This will be the most efficient option, but the UI will be<br>pretty crummy.<br><br>* Also like Utkarsh said, you can use a pair of clip filters (instead of<br>slice) to grab a reason. Use the Inside Out option on one of the clip<br>filters so that the intersection of the half spaces become a slab.<br><br>* You can change the Clip Type of the clip to a Box region. This will<br>allow you clip a slab in one operation. The disadvantage is that the box<br>clip operation can introduce more artifacts than a Plane clip. Also, you<br>need to make sure the clip is Inside Out.<br><br>* You should also try the Extract Cells By Region filter in place of the<br>clip filter. Rather than cutting up cells, it will keep full cells that<br>intersect a region you specify. Like Clip, Extract Cells By Region allows<br>you to define cells by planes and boxes (although the inside/outside<br>semantics are reversed). I suspect the Extract Cells By Region filter with<br>a Box intersection will be the closest to what you want.<br><br>-Ken<br><br><br><br><br>On 11/26/13 10:37 AM, "Utkarsh Ayachit" <<a href="mailto:utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com">utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com</a>><br>wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">If this is a structured dataset, try using "Extract Subset" filter.<br>Otherwise, you'll have to use a pair of Clip filters to get the<br>desired effect.<br><br>Utkarsh<br><br>On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 12:24 PM, Jesse Samluk <<a href="mailto:sevensam@udel.edu">sevensam@udel.edu</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite">Utkarsh,<br><br> Thanks for the response.
