You guessed it right. I do use a vtkDataSetMapper.

But I am puzzled because I do the exact same thing for a VTKStructuredGrid
- create grid, use threshold filter then a vtkDataSetMapper. In that case
all faces are extracted and rendered.

Maybe vtkDataSetMapper acts differently depending on what its input is?
That is if its input came from a structured grid, render all.

But then again, in my code, vtkDataSetMapper sees the threshold output not
directly the grid.

Sebastian, I do not understand what you mean by multi-block. Could you please \
elaborate. Thanks.<div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at \
