Hi,  
I am plotting a dataset in 3D and the ‘data axes grid’ appears distorted when I rotate in 3D. I’m running Paraview 5.9.0. But I have seen the same issue occur on 5.10.0. Below is an example of the data axes distortion. Please let me know if there is any additional information. Thank you!

Welcome to the ParaView discussion forum!

The distorted appearance may be due to perspective. You may want to try parallel projection by checking the `Camera Parallel Projection` option.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. It didn’t seem to resolve the issue when I check marked 'Camera Parallel Projection."
