Thanks David. I downloaded the source and compiled ParaView for my 32bit Arch Linux system (resulting in a directory with over 39.000 files totaling about 2 GB, I didn't expect it to be this extensive...!).
Using "File" → "Export Scene..." it is possible to save the scene in a couple of different vector formats. Exporting to SVG works quite nicely, however, the exported polygons don't link together in a completely seamless way. That means that there is a very small gap between all of them. Is this behavior intended (i.e. is it a feature or a bug)? I'm not sure what the policies are regarding attachments in this mailing list? If allowed I could attach the original .OBJ file, which is about 5 kB.
