Hey all, hopefully this is a simple question. I have a python script that includes a clip in my pipeline, using the code

c1 = pv.Clip(Input=fieldReader)
c1.ClipType = 'Box'
c1.InsideOut = 1
c1.ClipType.Scale = [xs,ys,zs]
pv.UpdatePipeline()

however, when I run this script, the resulting box is dramatically smaller then I specified. If I then manually hit 'apply' again, the box becomes the size I want. I'm unclear on why this is happening and how to fix it, and would welcome any advice. Also, if anyone is aware of any good resources for helping with python scripting, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi robo,

Maybe you can try to add the "bounds" and "position" definition of the clip before the "scale" command to control the limits of the clip?

c1 = pv.Clip(Input=fieldReader)
c1.ClipType = 'Box'
c1.InsideOut = 1
c1.ClipType.Bounds = [xb1,yb1,zb1,xb2,yb2,zb2]
c1.ClipType.Position = [xp,yp,zp]
c1.ClipType.Scale = [xs,ys,zs]
pv.UpdatePipeline()

Good luck!

Cheers
