I want to extract a subset of my velocity field in order to do postprocessing. However this subset is a cylinder and not a plane, box, or sphere, for which I could use the Extract Subset filter. This is a printscreen where I try to use the Cylinder filter but there is no way to extract the points inside. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi @RaniaYian

You should use the “Clip” filter with a cylinder type.

Best,
