Hello community, a question, I made a segmentation of some structures in millimeters (mm) but I realized that my image had a scale in microns (um), I then made the change from millimeters to microns in the configurations so that I could get the measurements and other data in Microns, but when I made that adjustment the segmentations that I had made disappeared from my image, I suppose it was due to the change of measurements, what I want to know is if I can do something so that I can see my segmentations again in the image so as not to start over again since there are many segmentations that I perform.

Greetings and thanks in advance.

Bring back the units to defaults (mm), and follow the instructions in this thread.

> Operating system: Win10 Slicer version: 5.2.1 r31317 / 77da381 Hi, I am encountering the following problem: segments were obtained by using the segment editor the voxel spacing of the master volume was: 1 x 1 x 1 mm³ (the default value) now I would need to change the voxel spacing of the master volume and also the voxel spacing of the already obtained segments Unfortunately I couldn´t find a smooth solution for this task; once the voxel dimensions of the master volume are changed, the cha…

You should of course correct the spacing in the master volume same way as well.
