Hi David, tried this way: theoretically it works, but its a bit laborious:
-) Activate the filter -) "p" + mouse -) Apply -) Spreadsheet + select sourceAnd: i found no possibility to select a new point with the current filter - so i have to start a new one. Further on, i clicking apply i have an update of "PointerPolyDataMapper", which takes a (short) time.
So overall, it would be nice if i can use it that way:
-) Activate new Probe-Filter + Spreadsheet
-) "p" + Mouse - every time clicking, automatic update of the spreadsheet
Best regards,
Stefan
Select points find vertices, select cells find cells, I believe you are trying to find data at a specific location within a cell, which is not necessarily on a vertex. Try the probe location filter. Activate it, then press p with the mouse on the point you are interested in, then click accept. This filter does not need additional render passes like selection does, so it should be fast. If you need to process the data you've identified further, you can manually make a location type selection out of the selected coordinate (there may be automatic ways to convert that I am not aware of) in the selection view.

But sometimes it would be nice by clicking on e.g. a surface to find the nearest point around - in fieldview for example i have to press to cntl-key to do this.Using the point selection mode, you should be able to click to select 1 point. Doesn't this work?This works if the point is nearby. If i click e.g. in the middle of a triangle of medium size (unstructured mesh) it does not select a point. The problem is: exploring a solution i am not interested in the points but in the flow field and so normally i do not show the points but a e.g. a cut with a scalar. There i would like to get information about this scalar ...And: every time selection points the update of the graphic window takes some time. Is there a speed up?How slow? How big is the geometry that is being rendered?The case has about 20e6 points and there is only a cut visible. Rendering the clicked point it takes about 5 secs ...
