Jean, Your fix works fine and pretty simple to implement. Should this be added as a feature request or possibly a bug?

I have looked for it for many years. I just put together a quick hack, which seems to work fine for me. No exhaustive testing was done. It works for my test data, which are multi-blocks of multi-blocks. It could be generalized to multi-pieces too. I'll let a Kitware guru do that. :-) I modified VTK/IO/vtkXMLMultiBlockDataReader.cxx to get the attribute "name" // child is a leaf node, read and insert. const char* tagName = childXML->GetName(); if (strcmp(tagName, "DataSet") == 0) { vtkSmartPointer<vtkDataSet> childDS; const char* name; if (this->ShouldReadDataSet(dataSetIndex)) { // Read childDS.TakeReference(this->ReadDataset(childXML, filePath)); name = childXML->GetAttribute("name"); } // insert if (mblock) { mblock->SetBlock(index, childDS); mblock->GetMetaData(index)->Set(vtkCompositeDataSet::NAME(), name); } else if (mpiece) { mpiece->SetPiece(index, childDS); } dataSetIndex++; } // Child is a multiblock dataset itself. Create it. else if (mblock != 0 && strcmp(tagName, "Block") == 0) { vtkMultiBlockDataSet* childDS = vtkMultiBlockDataSet::New();; this->ReadComposite(childXML, childDS, filePath, dataSetIndex); const char* name = childXML->GetAttribute("name"); if (mblock) { mblock->SetBlock(index, childDS); mblock->GetMetaData(index)->Set(vtkCompositeDataSet::NAME(), name); } else if (mpiece) { vtkErrorMacro("Multipiece data can't have composite children."); return; } childDS->Delete(); } ----------------- Jean M.
