Hi, I know this is a long shot, but I thought it was worth asking.
I have a structured (curvilinear) grid vtk file in which each cell is assigned a property value:
I also have the same grid with all property values set to zero:
What I need is to “paint” the model grid so that it mimics a 3-D version of the following geological map:
For example, the image below shows a conceptual slice of the fully “painted” 3-D model:
I am aware that one possible workflow is to select a subset of the grid, extract it, modify the values, and then append it back to the dataset. However, for my case this approach is not practical: it is very easy to introduce errors, and it becomes difficult to iteratively modify the geometry (for instance, when I want to extend a geological body):
My question is therefore whether there is a more efficient way to “paint” the model directly in ParaView. Ideally, I would like to be able to define a geometric object (for example, a sphere or another implicit shape), insert it into the model grid, and then merge it with the grid so that the corresponding cells are assigned the desired property values.
I am open to any suggestions or alternative workflows. I am using ParaView 5.12.
