I am new to Slicer. I got a question: How to change color of 3D-cube inside 3D-view through python-interactor? Thanks a lot! Aijun

I don’t think you can do that. But you can hide it and create your own: # Choose your color RGB_COLOR = 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 # Hide the cube v = slicer.util.getNode('View1') v.SetBoxVisible(False) # Create yours cube = vtk.vtkCubeSource() cube.SetXLength(200) cube.SetYLength(200) cube.SetZLength(200) cu…

Thanks you so much, Fernando! I do appreciate your help very well! It worked well after I did a little bit change: #modelNode = slicer.mrmlScene.AddNewNodeByClass(‘vtkMRMLModelNode’) –> modelNode = slicer.mrmlScene.AddNode(slicer.vtkMRMLModelNode()) I am not sure of why AddNewNodeByClass was no…

You can mark my answer so that it helps next person who gets in the thread for help. [image] AJ_ZHU: I am not sure of why AddNewNodeByClass was not there. You probably have an old version of Slicer. I think the commit that introduced that function is from May.

Thanks a lot. I guess you are right, I am using an old one. By the way, I am facing the new issue of the center. I got an model there, is there way to get the center of the model object so that I may get my cube-center matched? Thanks in advance! Aijun

Try modelNode.GetPolyData().GetCenter().

hi Fernando, Thanks a lot, But I am still stuck with how to get the modelNode.GetPolyData().GetCenter() working (I guess just because I am new). I am still not sure of the classes structures/config for the slicer view. Best, Aijun

[image] AJ_ZHU: I am still not sure of the classes structures/config for the slicer view. I’m not sure I understand the problem. Can you please rephrase? What are you doing? What do you expect? What do you get?

Hi Fernando, sorry for a long time to get back here to check with your expertise on the slicer. Here is a snapshot: [image] you see here, I get your idea of making a new cube scene but I have to no idea how to get my object and the cube sharing the same center. Thanks a lot, Aijun

I just saw your answer. Were you able to solve the problem?
