Thank you for the reply. <br><br>I was not able to clearly understand what exactly they meant by calculating the 'distance' from the input geometry to the structured data set. I think I am right in saying that the geometry refers to my STL mesh while the structured data set refers to the volume mesh. If this is correct, then what distance does it refer to? Is it the distance from the plane of every triangle in the bounding box to every point in the bounding box? <br>
<br>In the example:<a href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkImplicitModeller.html#details">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkImplicitModeller.html#details</a>, is the output the portion of 'hello' that is inside the bounding box at a distance of 0.25?<br>
<br>I have attached a couple of images indicating the kind of problem I have.<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 2:57 PM, sebastian ordas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sebastian.ordas@gmail.com">sebastian.ordas@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

you´re right<br>

how about this one:<br>

your case would be offset 0, right?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

tool?<br>

Is that an image or a tetra mesh? You can use
vtkCutter and provide regularly spaced planes inside
the bounding box of your "3D volume regular block
mesh" to cut your triangular mesh<br>
<br>
you can load both on paraview and play a bit there
before coding it<br>
<br>
hope that helps<br>
