Lorenzo,
Please don't forget to CC the list so that others may benefit from the
discussion now and in the future through the list archives.
As I mentioned in my previous email, using the Surface representation lets
you pick the color. I just mentioned the culling options as potentially
useful ways to see some things on your geometry. I didn't mean to lead you
astray from your goal.

Thank you for your help Cory, that helps a lot.
Anyway, I cannot select a color for the Cull FrontFace/BackFace options
(see pic attached)… If I select one of each, the back/front face simply
disappears and it comes back if I pan the stl the other way… that's quite
confusing if you have a complex geometry… Now, I could load my geometry
twice and enable backface for one and front face for the other and assign
different colors for each model but I kind of hoped there was an easier way…
Thank you!

Lorenzo,
Yes, you can do this.
Under the Display tab, choose the color of the front face in the
Color control panel. Set the Color by option to Solid Color, then
pick the color you want with the Set Solid Color... button. Then
scroll down almost to the bottom of the Display tab. There is a
Backface Style panel. If you set the representation to Surface, you
can then pick the color of the backface.
You can do other things, to, such as turn on front face or back face
culling, which you might find useful.
Hope that helps,
Cory

Hi all;
I was wondering if there's a way in paraview to color surfaces (ie
triangles in a stl file) by the direction of their normals (inwards or
outwards).
Meaning, if you pick a triangle, one side of it will be of one color while
the other side will be of a different color, depending on whether that
triangle normal is point towards the triangle of away from it.
Thank you
Lorenzo
