Michael, Yes, it is. If you want to keep the hex/quad structure, you can resort to the Threshold filter, thresholding based on coordinate values. See yesterday's posting http://markmail.org/message/wooi4pdb7j4h6z36 on how to get coordinates as additional data arrays. Note, though, that with the Threshold filter you won't be able to cut through a hex, just along its faces. So, only if the underlying hexahedra are aligned along your chosen slice, you get be a smooth surface. There might be another vtk filter that is unexposed in the ParaView GUI that actually cuts through hexahedra without resorting to triangulation of the surface. But that I don't know.
