Hello,
I have uploaded a large point cloud into ParaView. After masking some of the points I have then generated a 3D Delaunay triangulated volume. From this I want data on the coordinates of the vertices and the vertices that make up each tetrahedral. I have seen that the spreadsheet view allows me to create txt files with this information. I wanted to know if there is anyway I can show the vertices that compose the tetrahedral with the new point IDs rather than the original. I also am not able to display vertex data within this view and was wondering if there is a way to do that.
Thank you

There is no straightforward way to see the vertices that connect a tetrahedron in ParaView. One trick you can do is to select a single tetrahedron and then open the `Find Data`  dialog. In the `Find Data` dialog select to `Show` the `Point(s)` (using the combo box about halfway down right above the spreadsheet). The first column will give the IDs of the vertices connecting the selected tetrahedron.

I’m confused by the question a bit. Do you want:
1. Given a tetrahedron, see the points that define the tetrahedron’s geometry.
2. Given a point, see the tetrahedron that use that point to define their geometry.
Number 1 is available in the Spreadsheet view by choosing `Cell Data` and then clicking on the {…} button at the top of that view. For number 2, refer to Ken Moreland’s answer.
