You can use the python console instead of a plugin, if you want. Open the python console under the Tools menu and execute:
filename = "foo.facet" import vtkIOPython r = vtkIOPython.vtkUGFacetReader() r.SetFileName(filename) r.Update() t = TrivialProducer() t.GetClientSideObject().SetOutput(r.GetOutput()) t.UpdatePipeline() Show() Note, this works for paraview in the standard client only mode. This will not work when paraview is connected to a remote server.
