Hello to all,  
I managed to create a model from a segmentation.

> shNode = slicer.mrmlScene.GetSubjectHierarchyNode()  
> sceneItemID = shNode.GetSceneItemID()  
> exportFolderItemId = shNode.CreateFolderItem(sceneItemID , “Models”)  
> FinalModel = slicer.modules.segmentations.logic().ExportAllSegmentsToModels(segmentationNode, exportFolderItemId)

How can I set the color of the model? I tried to use the following code but the final model had no details.

> FinalModel=slicer.mrmlScene.GetFirstNode(NameOfModel,‘vtkMRMLModelNode’)  
> modelDisplayNode = FinalModel.GetDisplayNode()  
> modelDisplayNode .SetColor(250,0,0)

Colors of the exported models are taken from the segment colors, so the easiest is to set the segment’s color before the model export.
