Hi all i have fine mesh 100x100x3, then i want to clip become small mesh 12x16x3 or 576 cells, but what i have 12.3x16x3 and consist 624 cells i cant exactly clip in the corner of cells
any one help me[12x16x3.vtu](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/eK8rb6lEpA52gU3HbNpaV5ntTFC.vtu) (68.3 KB)

Looks like you are working with a perfectly regular grid. You should not use unstructured grid but image data, and then use the `Extract Subset` filter.

but i have to used unstructured grid, for applied to my simulation.

Steps:
- hit 
- now, using “Select Cells On” (or hit `S`) and then draw a rectangle to select all of the cells on the side facing you.
- goto **Edit | Find Data dialog** , and invert the selection by checking the **Invert Selection** checkbox
- extract the selection by hitting the **Extract Selection** button

Alternatively, you can ressample your unstructured grid into an image data by using `RessampleToImage` filter.

since i used RessampleToImage
my type of cell was change become Voxel from hexahedron. is it?

hello
since i used clip and invert selection
for visualize was done.
when i couple with my simulation, i need coordinate of point consecutive.
is there any menu to recalculate the coordinate of point and cell?
( it have to start from point 0 0 0, …,…)
any comment
