i wish i can export segments in STL / obj directly without converting to models then exporting .  
i think many of user would love to export to print to visualize without any work inside slicer.  
i know it is simple to convert then export but i think it would be much better otherwise

I wouldn’t call a single-click more work inside slicer, but then…

What you are asking for is already available. Go to `Segmentations` module, scroll down to find the **Import/Export** and below that you will find the menu to export segmentations to STL/OBJ directly to the disk.

i mean that im not doing any editing for the models inside slicer , and yeah i agree but i do plenty of exporting models that why it came to my mind.

actually the way you pointed actually export much faster for some reason .
