[General] Glyphing particles with different sizes

Adamkat · February 28, 2017, 06:19

Hi all,

I am trying to visualize a two phase flow of solid spherical particles.
I am able to visualize the particles using the Glyph>Glyph type>Sphere.

It seems like all the particles are the same size.

My question is: how can I visualize the particles with their actual size?

Thanks,
Adam

Dear Adam,
it is possible by simply attaching a Scalar field to the pointset.
After doing that in the "Glyph" filter you select your field in the "Scalar" pop-up window. Then choose "Scale Mode -> Scalar", "Scale Factor -> 1", "Apply to -> All Points".

Worked like a charm!

Thanks
