Dear Foamers,

although my question might be better placed in the paraview mailing list, I thought I'll first try if someone here got a comment to this strange (but maybe easy to solve) problem:

On my laptop (openSUSE 11.2 x64) I'm not able to view STL files in ParaView as they obviously aren't loaded correctly by the corresponding reader. I can't see the surface mesh at all and I noticed in the information tab that the bounds (x, y, z range) are completly wrong. In addition, the number of cells and points aren't correct, either.

I tried the following ParaView versions:

• 3.6.1 self-compiled with Qt-4.5.3
• 3.6.1 self-compiled with Qt-4.3.5
• 3.6.1 precompiled (out of ThirdParty-1.6)
• 3.6.1 precompiled (from paraview.org)
• 3.7.0-cvs self-compiled with Qt-4.5.3

The only one that worked and successfully displayed the STL file was the binary from paraview.org.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something basic which is OS-specific, since I'm using a self-compiled ParaView 3.6.1 with openSUSE 11.1 (x64) and 10.3 (i386) without any problems.

If someone encountered a similiar problem or has an idea about what's going wrong here, please let me know.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Johannes
