Spectacular. Thanks for posting!
By the way, instead of flipping between 2d and 3d, try moving your object with the key and mouse button.

Hi Walter,
thanks a lot for the compliment!!!
I’m really glad you liked it 🙂
Ah, I prefer the 2D because it takes away the perspective, but indeed for a plane that’s not necessary 🙂
Our compliments & thanks on Paraview in general as well:
it’s an incredibly powerful & well-written programme.
Best regards,

Nice @wouterremmerie ! I’ve edited your post name so discourse uses know what this is about.
I would suggest to edit your video name on youtube as well to be more descriptive.

I’ve changed the name of the video on YouTube as you suggested 🙂
