Convert To Point Cloud filter should default to Vertex cells
When you create a Convert To Point Cloud
filter, the default value for Cell Generation Mode
is Polyvertex cell
. The default should be changed to Vertex cells
. From a naïve user's perspective, the result of either will look the same. But Polyvertex cell
is a dangerous representation that will absolutely break operations down the road if users try to apply filters like Threshold
, Extract Cells By Region
, or Point Data To Cell Data
.
The small amount of memory that the polyvertex cell type saves is absolutely not worth the heartache it can cause. Furthermore, this change should be backward-compatible. There are no operations that work on polyvertex that will not also work with single vertex cells.
