Hi, how I can select the cells in a box given its corners in python? Like that with paraview.simple.SelectCells it can be possible but I don’t find documentation about how to do spatial queries.  
Thanks

not supported by the selection tools.  
However, you can create a python query to do this in Edit-\>FindData.

Alternaticaly, you can use Clip, use a Box and CrinkleClip parameter.
