Samuel, Thank you very much for the quick reply. I tried your EnSight example and could select different polygons by using "Extract Blocks" filter. VTK's example EnSight datasets also allows doing so.
Besides, *.vtp or *.pvtp files are not working for me. What content should be put into vtp files to enable Paraview "Extract Blocks"? If you also have a working vtp example that will be very helpful. Thanks and best regards, Jimmy ------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2013 09:03:40 -0600 From: Samuel Key <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Paraview] Which polygon file reader in Paraview has interface to show/hide separate segments?

It is material domains that I want to examine as distinct. However, ParaView does not care if it is a serially-generated set of material domain, a set of processor domain results, or any criterion you want to use. Each domain needs to be a "displayable graphics object." Case(1) *.vtp XML format Case(2) EnSight Gold format using that format's Part-construct. In either case, ParaView's Extract Group filter allows one to select any combination of domains to display. Multiple extracted sub-domains can appear together in one window and/or in separate windows. A small file that will let you explore this capability is attached.
