Are there any options to get a 2D projection of the following 3D bone as shown below in Paraview?

enter image description here

The 2D projection contour line could look like the following (picture shown as an example, please ignore the projection plane):

  • You realize that this image itself is a 2D projection? Unless you mean projecting the points orthographically onto an arbitrary plane? – meowgoesthedog Aug 07 '17 at 10:36
  • Thanks for the clarification, I have updated the question with an example of what I look for (coming from a 2D image). Hope this helps! – Adam Merckx Aug 07 '17 at 10:47

Let's say you want to project to a plane at z=0. You can use the Calculator filter to project each point (x, y, z) to (x, y, 0). Turn on Coordinate Results and set the expression to coordsX*iHat + coordsY*jHat. Next, use the Feature Edges filter to produce a contour line of the projected geometry. This may give you something qualitatively similar to what you are looking for.
