Hello,

I’m new in Paraview and I would like to convert a 3D model into 2D Images as slices.  
Can anyone recommend me the functionality that I can use to do it?

Best regards,  
Mahmoud

Paraview has a `Slice` filter.

You may want to have a look to the [user documentation](https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/), this includes some nice tutorials to start.
