Hi,

Is there a way to clip (but not segment) the 3D rendering of a segment in segment editor? I want to use scissors to crop cervical vertebrae in skull CTs, and at some point I need a view of them looking through the top of the skull.

You can use Mask volume effect for this (provided by SegmentEditorExtraEffects extension). See short demo below:

I heard many people access YouTube using a VPN.

Are there other video sharing services similar to YouTube that are not blocked?
