I have a situation in a simulation to show a slice of the same source but with different variable to be shown at different at different location in a view port..  
**[Ex: imagine a propeller Right,Left , one to be shown as pressure** **the other density]**  
_The below workflow just copies the Reflect at same location again.. is there a way to decouple same slice, with same same source to be shown in different location in a view port ._

Hi @cfd_payne !

Do you use multiviews in paraView ? With multiview you should be able to display different variable in each view, using the same source:

> **[paraview - 5. Displaying data — ParaView Documentation 6.1.0 documentation](https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/UsersGuide/displayingData.html#multiple-views)**
>
> The goal of any visualization process is to produce visual representations of the data. The visual representations are shown in modules called views. Views provide the canvas on which to display such visual representations, as well as to dictate how...

Yes, i know this feature exists 👍.  
I’m trying to Augment reality on a background that has results to be displayed at two different location, simulation has only a symmetry modeled.

Can the scripts help here ?

Loading data set twice and ++transforms seems a quick workaround for what was needed within a single viewport.
