Hey guy,

I am trying to remove the skull of the brain and in that case i want to make a new volume based on the segmentation i have created and the originale volume. Does anyone know if this is posible? I dont want to make a model of the segment.

install the SegmentEditorExtraEffects extension, and use the MaskVolume to create a new volume of segmented structure only.
