For a couple of different reasons, our company compiles ParaView. We also have some release version executables on our system. It’s come to my attention that the release version has the VisITTecplotBinaryReader, but the versions we’ve compiled on our own do not. Can someone inform me of the compile argument(s) required to enable this reader?
Thanks in advance!

This is managed by the superbuild of ParaView : [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild)
You would need to build the superbuild and activate the VisitBridge.

We don’t use the superbuild on our systems, but I have enable the VisitBridge now. Thanks!
