Hello,
I’m fairly new to Paraview and I’m trying to write a vtk file to visualize a grid using the unstructured grid option. Having manually inspected the data the points and connectivity seem to be right but the resulting grid looks weird. I have attached the vtk[Grid.vtk](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/r0y9jWEGZnlHpfSU2pczx081k3Q.vtk) (322 Bytes) . Am I missing something here? Any inputs would help. Thank you.
Regards
Shriram

Looks like your cells are twisted.

Hello Mathieu,
Thank you. I just figured it out. The order in which the cell vertices were taken was not correct. Didn’t think it mattered. Thanks again.
