Summary0010527: Unstructured grid XML file without cells won't load
DescriptionI have a PolyData file that contains only points and a dozen associated scalars per point. I load this file in PV and use a Clip filter to extract a box-shaped region. If I then use Save Data to save the clipped output to a .vtu file the resulting file can not be read by PV. The error is

ERROR: In /home/kitware/ParaView3/Utilities/BuildScripts/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader.cxx, line 297
vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader (0x8f59968): Cannot read cell types from Cells in piece 0 because the "types" array could not be found.

I guess this is caused by the original set having 0 cells, and subsequently the clipped output as well.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationPV 3.6.2

So is using a PolyData set not the best way to store a dataset consisting of only points with associated scalars? If not, what would be a better way?
