[General] ParaView shows lines from hidden cells

Tobi · February 2, 2020, 10:10

Hi all and ParaView experts,

I am working for a long time using OpenFOAM and ParaView. However, in the last few month I encountered a problem while displaying the Surface With Edges. Doing so, I see the mesh edges but also the edges that are behind the cells which is somehow confusing. I attached a picture that demonstrates the problem. Is it related to a ParavView setting or a problem with my graphic card driver? I do have a Nvidia 1070 GTX.

Hi Tobias,

Could it be (related to) this bug?

Kind regards,

Hi Roland,

thanks for coming along. Thanks for your hint. It is exactly as reported in the link.

Code:

Edit/ Settings/ Renderview/ Line offset Parameters -> from -4 to -1
