<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Jesse,<br><br></div>I'm not 100% this could be the answer to your question, but if you want to produce an animation of different 2D slices through your model, then hereinafter there is a python script that I use to do that:<br>

<div><br></div><div>   So, I'm trying to figure out the Animation feature in Paraview. Is there a way to set up a "fly-through" that looks from the top surface (Y-X plane, I know this image would have to be rotated) going down through the Z axis to the bottom?</div>
<div><br></div><div>   I really don't have a clue how to set up an animation, and I've played around with it and checked the help, but nothing helps.</div><div>   </div><div>  Thanks!</div><div>   Jesse<img src="cid:335FD353-656E-4A5B-A6CA-1464821E1EBE" width="640" height="379"></div>
