I've tried to do the same thing Chenshu, this is how I ended up doing it: open vtk particle file generate ids (possibly apply it even if they already have ids) extract entire dataset with particles through threshold by generated ids for the particles you want (This can be done multiple times to select multiple sets of points, then append datasets to combine them to one) Temporal particles to pathlines
Unfortunately I haven't found a better way to actually select the particles other than through selecting them by particle ids. Just extracting a selection doesn't work properly with the pathlines filter. But you can extract a selection and view their ids in spreadsheet form. I was doing this, writing it down and then applying the threshold. Also the generate id's filter was applying them in layers in z, so you may find thresholding for z>0 is easy as it might be one threshold in the id's. You just need to find the right id number. Maybe someone knows a better way though...
