Dear all,

is there a way to filter and show only a specific cell type?

In my application I am exporting a PolyData VTK file containing some Polys and Lines. When imported into Paraview, both Polys and Lines are shown, and I did not find a simple way to show only Polys. What I can do is to export additional CellData array with a number specifying cell type and then apply Treshold in Paraview. However that seems redundant, as the type is already stored in the file somewhere.
So my question is, is there a direct way?

Simplified example of the exported VTK file is attached.

Kind regards,
Viktor
