Hi all,
I encountered some issues ploting over lines with xdmf files.
Everything works well if I don’t change the Line Parameters. As soon as I modify these parameters, the plot disapears.
Can someone help ?
Cheers,
Rem

Sure, here it is: [retention.xdmf](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/2/28e1da61bb95a6f3b044e6814ee04f9200cb774b.xdmf) (32.7 KB)

a .xdmf file is not enough. It points to a retention.h5 file.

It is working great here, could you share the step to reproduce, your version of ParaView and a screenshot ?

Thing is sometimes this issue doesn’t appear so it’s quite hard to reproduce…
Anyway I solved it by upgrading to 5.7.0
thanks for the help Mathieu!
