David,
Thanks for your suggestion and it has definitely pointed me in the right
direction. What I am still not able to figure out is how to relate "d"
(in your network snippet below) back to the y and z coordinates -
Compute is passing only the x coordinates to Include. I can't include y
and z in this Compute because then they will be operated on by the same
Include, which won't work with the coordinates of the data and besides I
would like to "clip" those axes independently. And having separate
Computes and Includes for the x and y coordinates is not working, at
least not the way that I have the network constructed.
Thanks for your help,
Karl

This is fairly straight forward.
a = Mark(yourData, "positions");
b = Compute(a, a.0);
c = Include(b, 5, 10);
d = Unmark(c);
Now d no longer includes those portions of the grid (you may want to
cull the include).

Hello DX'ers,
I've got a 3-d field of elements having irregular positions, although
only the z-dimension positions are actually irregular - the x and y
positions are regularly-spaced. It's essentially a finite-element
mesh. I'm trying to "remove" elements, not based on their value
(which can be accomplished using the Include module), but rather based
on their x and y positions. For example, let's say that the domain
ranges from x=0 to x=10, y=0 and y=20, and z=0 to z=5. What I'd like
to do is remove all elements from x=0 to x= 5 so that I can see what
is happening inside the volume. Note that the elements are visualized
as solids using ShowBoundary and FaceNormals. I've tried ClipPlane,
but the elements on the clipping plane are not rendered as opaque so
they do not appear. Slab won't work either, because the connections
are irregular. In addition, my attempts at using ClipVolumeMacro have
not been at all successful.
This seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but I'm
obvioulsy missing some critical aspect.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
