I use vtkCylinderSource and vtkAppendPolyData to create some cylinders that intersect. Now I want to extract the surface of them. How can I do that. The data looks like the following. [1]

The dark strips could just be incorrect normals produced by the filter. Recall I mentioned that the filter is a little unstable - geometric algorithms are hard to get right! You could try to generate new normals by adding a vtkPolyDataNormals filter to the output of the boolean operations filter. …
