Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use snappyHexMesh to import an stl file to openFoam and visualize it by paraFoam.
snappyHexMesh ran fine without indication of any errors, but when I open paraFoam in the case directory and click "Apply", set "Style" to wireframe in Display tab, the object does not look like what I expected.
The outer geometry(a square) defined by my blockMeshDict is there, but there is nothing inside it; instead, faces of the outer geometry somewhat "reflect"(in 2D) the inner geometry. So if you look at a face from right in front of it(90 degree), it does show the inner geometry but when you rotate a view a little bit, the inner geometry is merely drawn on a face of the outer geometry.

When I tested it with
tutorials/mesh/snappyHexMesh/snappyMultiRegionHeater
it does the same thing (or maybe this one was originally supposed to be like this?)
Is it a ParaView problem?

I've been searching for answer hard but couldn' really find anything.
Any advice would be appreciated.
