Hello,
I have a mesh with information of the cell centers.
I have a .vtk file with information on the face centers. These are displayed as gaussian points.
I would like to extract one cell of the domain and get the corresponding face information.
How can I do that? Is there a way to extract closest points to a certain geometry (extracted cell)?

Hi @Chica_ron !
You may want to look to a similar problem described [here](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/get-all-cells-using-a-certain-point-id/4371) . The last post contains a script that extracts all cells around a point. You should be able to adapt it for your case.

I will take a look into it. Thanks!
