Hi,

I'm using Gmsh as a post-processor for a 3D Hex user element. Often I 
just want to show 2D Contour which I obtain by the Plug-in "CutPlane". 
If I now draw the element outlines the original 3D-Hex Mesh is 
transformed to a 2D triangle mesh. Is where a option so that I generate 
a 2D Contour with the "old" Mesh outlines ?

Thanks

Holger Schwaab
