Joel, What you are seeing with the clipped sphere is indeed the clipped polygonal data from the sphere source. The sphere source does not produce volumetric cells inside the surface that you see, so there are no internal cells that would be clipped and produce the filled appearance you are after.
I'm betting the VTK dataset you viewed has volumetric cells. In that case, you will see the surface of the clipped volumetric cells. You would need to fill the interior of polygonal datasets with volumetric cells through some kind of meshing procedure. In ParaView, that is pretty much limited to the Delaunay 3D filter, and it works fine if your polygonal dataset defines a convex volume. But there is no option to set that will do this automatically. - Cory On Sat, Jun 3, 2017 at 9:08 AM, Joel Kulesza <jkule...@umich.edu> wrote: > Colleagues, > > Is there an option I'm not finding that would allow me to continually render > sources as solid volumes rather than shells? > > For example, if I plot a VTK data set and "clip" it, I see all internal > structure (because there is some). > > However, if I plot a Sphere and "clip" it, I see a spherical shell (see > attached).
