You can only import labelmap volumes. You have two options for having your volume interpreted as labelmap:

- Option A: Load your volume as a labelmap: in the `Add data` dialog click on `Show options` and check “LabelMap”.
- Option B: Convert your grayscale volume to labelmap in the `Volumes` module, `Volume information` section, `Convert to label map` row.
