Paraview 5.8.0  
I set the display of axes grid in my case, but the output result is not very satisfactory. I want to reset the coordinates to the boundary intersection point. May I ask how I can achieve it? Or what methods can achieve the same effect?

Hide the “phi-000” to fix the issue

I output these data through a software, but I am not familiar with internal operations. I want to achieve the following effect by changing the coordinate origin. Can I achieve this?

Hide the “phi-000” to fix the issue **by clicking on the “eye”**

I know this operation, but I actually want to change the scale of the coordinates and the position of the origin, so that the origin is at the intersection of a certain boundary and not in the middle position

I have no idea what is your question or what you want to do.

Maybe try using Transform filter ?

For example, my (0,0,0) is here at the center of the box, and I want to move it to the bottom left corner position 🤣
