Hello,

I have a problem in plotting Glyph from .vtm file. As shown in the first picture, Glyph at some data points are missing. It is working properly when I open the .vtu file directly, as shown in the second picture. The relevant .vtu and .vtm files are also attached.

Thank you.

By default, the Glyph mapper draws glyphs at a subset of the input points. To draw them at all points, change the **Glyph Mode** property to “All Points”.
