Hi,

I’m trying to export some slices through python and I’m trying to set the origin and normal by hand through slice.SliceType.Normal and slice.SliceType.Origin. But when I try to save the slices seems that the Origin value is changed back to the original one. Any idea why this might be happening? I’m using Paraview 5.10.1.
