VTK polyhedra not rendering in XML format

ParaView Support
1

I’ve been trying to reproduce the example polyhedral cell from here: https://examples.vtk.org/site/Python/GeometricObjects/PolyhedronAndHexahedron/

Instead of rendering to screen I am dumping the scene to a .vtu file. When I load the file in Paraview (5.13.2), I don’t see the polyhedra. I checked against PyVista, where everything seems to working correctly. However, if I change the writer to the VTK legacy format, the polyhedra will render. I have attached both files:

output.vtk (400 Bytes)
output.vtu (2.1 KB)

Here is a crude Jupyter notebook as well:

check_with_pyvista.ipynb (5.8 KB)

Thoughts? (Running on Mac BTW)

Use the nightly version of ParaView instead: https://www.paraview.org/download/?version=nightly

Cool,

For reference it works on the March 25th and March 10th builds but not on the 21/03/25 build 15.3.2-27.

Expected, this is a release branch build, not a master branch build.
