Thanks Samuel, The clip function does what I want. The steps that I used are: 1-select extract surface 2-select conductivity 3-clip (to remove the x-right face) 4-clip (to remove the x-left face) 5-clip (to remove the y-top face) 6-clip (to remove the y-bottom face) 7-slice (to get the 2D circle)

The result of the Extract Surface filter can also be trimmed visa the Clip filter. Sam On 6/27/2016 2:14 AM, Stephen Wornom wrote: <blockquote> The mesh is 3D unstructured about a 3D cylinder. I would like to extract the surface of the cylinder. I have experience extracting surfaces with another code where the surfaces are defined by a variable (-3= cylinder surface). I do it like this: 1-select extract surface 2-select conductivity 3-select threshold (choose -3 which corresponds to the cylinder surface). but I am using a code where the cylinder surface is NOT a predefined variable. How do I do I extract the surface?
