hello, every professor  
i am new to this software and i do some researches on OFC (orbitofrontal cortex) sulcogyral patterns at the past. Now, i want to convert the 2D view into 3D view only in OFC, Everybody has some good ideas?  
Best wishes

You can use [Segment Editor](http://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/module_segmenteditor.html) module to create a 3D model of a structure you delineate in 2D views.
