I also added a bug to add a facet reader to ParaView. Per Robert's comments, it should be easy to add.

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.

I have added the feature to mantis so you can track the feature ( http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12657) In the meantime you will have build your own plugin which will require you too build your own version of ParaView or to use the developer release. I have included the necessary files to make the reader once you have the correct ParaView version. I would recommend reading the http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo page to understand how to build your own plugin.
