Karl, Its my understanding that the DX rendering stage handles a volume of data, such as your 3D mesh, using volume rendering if using software methods, or by showing only the boundary, if using hardware. Were you using software rendering? In any case, Show Boundary guarantees the desired

Welcome to DX-land, then! I think you are looking for ShowBoundary which puts a polygonal face on a volumetric data set. You can fiddle with the opacity of the boundary by adding a Color module afterward and only changing the opacity (existing colors will be unaffected). Or add a Colormap, adjust

Thanks Chris - ShowBoundary was just what i needed to complete the picture! As well, your other advice about invalid connections (this is a nice tool that I could never get AVS to do) is greatly appreciated. So, is there a module repository for those who write custom modules and would like to

Depends on what it is. If it is a custom tool that would just be used by a few--OpenDX.org can host modules (there are a few there already). If it is something that could benefit just about every OpenDX user, it is possible to add it to the code base--but would have to be approved by the main

Hi, I'm new to OpenDX (though I've got a long history with AVS 5) and after going through all the tutorials and examples, I'm still having trouble visualizing my data set. I've got model results on a regular (finite difference) 3-D mesh and I'd like to visualize them as voxels, that is as
