Hi guys
I am currently using ParaView 5.13, and I am in a situation where I have a set of points and I have to extract those that are from 0-120m. However, upon applying the clip filter, I found out that the number of points have been doubled. I had 9087 points, but after clipping the total is 17039. Does anyone know what is happening or is this actually a bug? (I tried this with ParaView 5.12 and it’s the same, but 5.10 and 5.11 seem to be ok). Thank you!
Hello @homan95,
It looks like a bug indeed but without the data I can’t confirm that, if it’s possible for you, could you please share your data?

I was able to reproduce this bug. I submitted a bug report for this: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22765
You can work around this problem by running the Convert To Point Cloud filter before you clip. Make sure the Cell Generation Mode is set to Vertex cells (the default).
Alternately, you can apply the Clean to Grid filter after clipping and turning on the Remove Points Without Cells option.
