Thank for the reply. I am using a netcdf grid file. This file consists of three dimensions. When I open it in paraview the x- and y-dimensions are nicely displayed while the z-variable is colour coded. I, however, would like to display the the z-dimension in z-direction.
Opening the data in 3D mode allows me to rotate the grid as a flat disc but does not give me a 3D effect of the z-dimension. Changing the vertical scale had no effect either. In the Object Inspector>Information>Data Array is the z-dimension listed with z, float, [5.566, 170.259] for Name, Data Type, Data Ranges, respectively. In the Extents field, however, is the Z Extent 0 to 0 (dimension: 1). Can anybody help? xian On 19 November 2010 13:45, David Doria <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 5:10 AM, Xian Sperber > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear list, > > > > As a newbie I have some problems to display the third dimension in > paraview. > > I have opened a nc file which displays nicely although only in 2D.
