I created a segment, and I confirmed its master representation is Binary labelmap. I then created surface by pushing the button “Create surface” in Segment Editor. I noticed that having a 3D surface rendered while performing editing in-slice leads to a noticeable slow-down of editor interactions, s…

[image] fedorov: add a shortcut button to jump directly to Segmentations from Segment Editor, and give some hint about what capabilities are available from there I like this idea. [image] fedorov: If the segments are not edited, there should be no need to recompute the surface True, v…

@cpinter just wanted to make sure you saw this

Makes sense, we can change the name of the button. @lassoan please comment, as you had pretty strong opinions about this button earlier The surface is not “deleted” and “created”. This is a very important feature of Segmentations (see Validity problem in slides ), that the non-master representations…

@fedorov As it turns out about the third point, the options are there, but the flag that determines whether the advanced options are visible is false by default, but the tooltip was set nevertheless. What I did so far was to set the tooltip only if the advanced options are available. As far as I re…

Makes sense, we can change the name of the button. @lassoan please comment, as you had pretty strong opinions about this button earlier We already got feedback about the misleading button name (state button has action name) and I agree we should change it. The name should clearly indicate that it…

[image] cpinter: As far as I remember we kept it disabled by default to avoid further clutter. Thoughts? I don’t think it adds much clutter, since it will not be shown by default. I assume you meant to add a little drop-down hint, as done in slice views link button? This by far would be a lot…

[image] fedorov: This by far would be a lot more convenient The issue with the long-press dropdown was that we often activated those advanced visualization options unintentionally and that slowed down the operation. Also, keeping closed surface representation but not showing it should be disc…

[image] fedorov: un-click “Create surface” button, and then click it again right away I see. I don’t see this as a real use case, but we can certainly not delete it just hide it. [image] fedorov: This by far would be a lot more convenient For sure. What we could also do is to add thes…

[image] cpinter: I see. I don’t see this as a real use case, but we can certainly not delete it just hide it. Actually this will be problematic after all. If we hide it but keep the representation, then after every editing step the conversion will still take place. According to the original d…

[image] lassoan: keeping closed surface representation but not showing it should be discouraged, as you would still need to wait for the closed surface representation to be computed but you would not see the result. You might want to think about use cases where the user does not need to alway…

@cpinter thank you for the detailed explanation and suggestions! This all makes sense to me. Yes, a shortcut for quick export would probably be helpful, considering how often this question comes up.
