I'm using custom polydata saved to obj/ply files that was used for other projects. The other projects needed the detail they provide. I, however, do not. So to speed up what I'm doing, I'd like to reduce them to a more manageable size.

hi,
Are you just using the default glyphs that come with Paraview? i think they include a maskpoints option too.

It has cells as well which I'd like to keep. Say it was a Car with lots of detail. I want it to end up still looking like a car but with 4800 points instead of 48000.

As far as I can tell, maskpoints will remove the cell data.

Hi,
Use the maskpoints filter.

I have an obj file and a ply file which both have a lot of detail. The ply has around 48000 points (1MB) and the obj has round 6000 points (.2MB). I want to use these two as glyphs for each point in my reader. I am able to load them, but since they are huge on their own, it bogs down ParaView. Is there a way to reduce the amount of points, but maintain the basic structure?

Thanks,
