<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Output is generated when filter is executed either through the pipeline or calling Update().<br>
This why it is important to see the code.<br>
<br>
For debugging purposes remove all irrelevant code. For example create polydata manually.
<br>
This would also allow to post questions with self-sufficient test code.<br>
<br>
As far as I can see there is no any problem with RequestData implementation.<br>
To proof it - check any available vtk polydata filter ( for example&nbsp; vtkTriangleFilter )which looks like exactly as yours.<br>
It might be different for vtk version 5 though.&nbsp; If it is the case check source code of version you have installed.<br>
