Slicer version: 4.10.1  
Hi 3D Slicer experts and aIl  
I exported the RT Plan from treatment planning system (TPS) and for one of the radiation fields I have a shield . the shield points in Metadata of DCM in 3D Slicer are observable , but the shield can not be loaded with radiation beam . is it possible to load the shield ?  
Thanks a lot

Can you please specify what format the shield is in? Is it RTSTRUCT?  
If you can send me that file that helps too.  
Thanks!

Hi aseman. Sorry, RTPLAN support is incomplete, and blocks are not yet supported.
