Pat, Thanks for the tips. Sure enough, the clean-to-grid filter worked (seems odd though, as the contour filter would presumably use a slower alg on an unstruct grid).
Regarding the "Convert to" 2D/3D views, when I tried it on that example, it seemed to clear the views and I wasn't sure how to recover them. But I'll keep playing. -Randy On Apr 8, 2010, at 1:06 PM, pat marion wrote: > For the color map question you asked inside your link, maybe you could double > check the colormap you created.
