I have a (long) list of {x,y,z,f} values generated using a finite element software package. I've tried using
ListContourPlot3D[data, PlotRange -> All, Contours -> {0}]
to visualize the data set but what it generates is an empty box ranging from {-1,1} in all directions.
It sounds similar to this problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2497517/mathematica-listcontourplot3d but the solution provided only works for discrete data generated from a table construct; my data is already discrete.
I can visualize parts of the data using:
ListPlot3D[{#[[1]],#[[2]],#[[4]]}&/@data]
but I lose a critical part of the data when I do that.
I've also tried applying a solution similar to this: Smooth 4D (3D + color) plot from discrete points but I lose the ability to (easily?) control the color function to stay constant between multiple data sets, ie. I do not want the color function to auto range with the current data set, I would like to be able to set the color function range between the maximum and minimum of largest data set as to track the changes over all of the data sets.
I've included a sample section of the data below which gives the general overview of the data but has been truncated from the original data set.
The output image (isn't this) but should look something like this:
