To create vessel wall, use [“Hollow” effect](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-segment-editor-effect-for-creating-hollow-objects/2464) in recent nightly version of Segment editor. If you import model or labelmap from other software then you need to import it into a Segmentation node. Let us know if you stuck at any point or you don’t get good enough quality segmentation.
