Hi I’m new to slicer development and I wanted to update my code to the 4.10 version. I just had a question of how to enable the “edit in 3D view” section using the qMRMLSegmentEditorWidget?

Thanks

I got to this point:  
self.segmentEditorWidget.setActiveEffectByName(“Erase”)  
effect = self.segmentEditorWidget.activeEffect()  
effect.setParameter(“Editin3DViews”,“1”)  
effect.self().onApply()  
But whenever I attempt to erase, it will only rotate/displace the volume.
