Hi Zhuang, the most efficient way to do what you need is to first create the thick wall and then clip the mesh afterwards.
In order to create the thick wall (I assume you want to go "outwards"), do the following: vmtksurfacenormals -ifile input_surface.vtp --pipe vmtksurfacetomesh --pipe vmtkboundarylayer -warpvectorsarray Normals -constantthickness 1 -thickness 2.0 -ofile thick_walled_model.vtu Now you can clip the resulting model using Clip in Paraview or using vmtkmeshclipper. Hope this helps. Luca On Feb 20, 2012, at 10:16 AM, Lingfeng Zhuang wrote: > Dear Luca, > > I am using vmtkcenterlinemodeller + vmtkmarchingcubes to produce a 3D airway > model.
