Hello ParaView community,  
I have a 3D volumetric mesh composed of hexadra, with all data represented at the mesh vertices. I am familiar with how to clip this volumetric mesh with a sphere of a given radius. But is there a straightforward method to clip the mesh with an ellipsoid with radii rx, ry, rz along the respective axes?
