Hi everyone!
I want clip a model by Paraview Tools, here is Paraview 5.13.2.
as shown in figure below, I want to keep the model outside the box rather than inside.
What do I need to do to achieve the desired effect?
My attempts are as follows:
choose one of this two items
Use the “Invert” properties that should be available in ParaView 5.13.2 in the Clip filter.
Thank you for your response.
I choose “Invert” item, the result likes this:
here is the setting of properties
if i choose “Exact” item, the result likes this:
In fact, I want to make the part of the model that is located in the box disappear, that is, the pink part. In the end, the green part will remain
I dont understand, is this working for you ?
Apologies for my lack of clarity.
It didn’t work for me.
actually, I want ro acquire the this resluts:
I have a square model with a green outline in the picture.
and I use one box to clip this model,
but in Paraview, I always acquire the square model with a purple outline, That is, Section inside “box for clipping”
I expect to acquire a model with a black outline, That is, the remaining seven-eighths. Saction outside “box for clipping”
Indeed, it looks like the inverted box clip is not working as it should, please open an issue:
Okay, et Merci
Thank you for your reply!
Because I need this feature to polish my thesis work, If I want to participate in the resolution of this issue, are there any other requirements besides the fork repository?
CONTRIBUTING.md · master · ParaView / ParaView · GitLab
I mean does it require me to be a full time ParaView developer if I want to be involved in the resolution of issue
If you are familiar with C++, you definitely can contribute to VTK and ParaView.

Okay, thanks!
How long will it take for this issue to be resolved, as I see that there are about 2,000 issues that have not been resolved!

That depends on you 
You can either fix it yourself or reach out to other to fix it:
Okay, thanks!
What you need is exact and not inverted. That’s not an option right now.
But i took the liberty to implement it https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/7314.
It’s slower than without exact. But at least it works as it’s supposed to.
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/7314 has been merged.
Go here: https://www.paraview.org/download/ and tomorrow download the nightly version.
Use the clip filter and select exact and unselect Invert. I hope this provides you with the solution you were looking for.
thank you!
Since it’s a new feature, I would appreciate it if you let me know of anything weird you see with my non-inverted exact box clip implementation.
I used this version, as it was released in 28th,May;
the result is not section outside ‘Box for clipping’
It seems that we don’t have nightlies for Windows, only releases (and this feature is not yet part of it).
You need to either compile master on windows, or download the nightly on Linux/Mac.
@cory.quammen Why don’t we have nightlies on windows?
Okay, I see
