Dears in 3D Slicer support team,  
I want to know how could I color different regions with different colors in the same model!  
As you can seen in this screenshot below:  
Want to color the fractured segments (small ones) with a different color than the whole mandible!  
Thank you so much for appreciated help.

If they are separated from the mandible you can use islands effect to add them to a new segment

But this one dose not show to the end result! Do this mean by doing these steps I would have two different colored segments in the same model?

If you want to have dofferent colors on the same model you should use color scalars  
For example: red=1,blue=2, and so on

You can explore the models module to know more about this
