I want to do some modifications on my stl file. when I open it from file as a data the “Segment Editor” is NOT active. How may I do that?

See step-by-step instructions in Segmentations module documentation (see the tip at the end of the section on how to create a master volume if you don’t have one).

Great! It works now. Thanks a lot.

I load the stl file and after specifying the geometry I tried to modify the stl file using Draw tube effect. when I click on Draw tube effect a message shows up that says:“change master representation to binary labelmap”. if say YES,the files quality changes like [before-after] attached screensho…

This is looks good. The resolution you choose determines what details are preserved. If it is not feasible to use a resolution that preserves all the details you need (e.g., because your segmentation is large and your computer could not handle a very fine resolution labelmap of that size) then you c…

Thanks for quick reply. This quality does not work for my case because the tube should be fitted to the fitting barbed that you see in the screen shot and this one will end up with a leakage. How may I change the resolution? Does the image spacing change the mentioned quality? for my case the imag…

Spacing of the binary labelmap representation of the segmentation directly determines “quality”, i.e., size of the smallest details that can be preserved. Typical spacing is between few tenths of a millimeter to a few millimeters - consistent with spacing of the input images. However, if you need fi…

When I load data (.stl model) into Slicer there are three options(segmentation-model-volume). If I choose model and load it, is there any way to modify the model? e.g cutting a part of it? Thanks

Look at the Dynamic Modeler module, which provides tools for manipulation of surface models, including cutting.

Thank you Mike. it works for cutting. Is there any option to fill holes ,…etc there?

The Surface Toolbox module has a variety of processing options oriented towards cleaning up and optimizing model meshes. One of the options there is “Fill Holes”, which might accomplish what you want (I don’t have experience with using that tool, so I’m not sure how it goes about filling holes). D…
