The opacity part won’t work properly on the server version of paraview. When I reduce the opacity, the entire geometry vanishes. I would appreciate any feedback to resolve this issue. I am running paraview on the server using the gui method

Hi @Abhijeet_Chodankar

Classic mesa bug. Try using an actual GPU for rendering.

Best,
