    Dear Magician,<br>
    <br>
    Finally I understood how it works after exact following the
    instructions:<br>
    <br>
    set the input (VTS) and source (Plane) on the Change Input Dialog<br>
    <br>
    Although I wouldn't call this dialog user-friendly, it works, so
    thank you very much for solving this issue.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>

            <br>
            Here is a precise algorithm I follow to:<br>
            <br>
            1. Read the data (I usually do that in terminal: paraview
            test.vts) (test.vts is attached)<br>
            2. Sources -> Plane (Origin: 0 0 0, Point1: 4 0 0,
            Point2: 0 2 0, X Resolution: 200, Y Resolution: 100)<br>
            3. Filters -> Resample With Dataset -> (Available
            input ports: Source; Select Input: Plane1) (test.pvsm is
            attached)<br>
               (After applying this filter I get nothing)<br>
            4. Repeating step 3 with exactly the same parameters (if I
            remember correctly) gave me the desired result once. But now
            it doesn't. Nevertheless test2.pvsm, corresponding to the
            state after doing this, is attached.<br>
            <br>
            Thank you for your help!<br>

                      Thank you for the explanation and for the hint!<br>
                      The only issue is that the last step of your
                      algorithm<br>
                        3. apply Resample With Dataset filter,<br>

                      I was able to get the same representation like you
                      showed, but<br>
                      it was an accidental choice of several Resample

                      and I couldn't repeat it again. My impression is
                      that I have to apply<br>
                      this filter several times to different sources. Am
