Dear 3DSlicer community, thank you for all your constant efforts making this software better. I just downloaded the latest nightly version and I no longer see the option to open my vtk files as I used to to see the fiber bundles. Instead I only have the option of a model (or also scalar overlay and volume but those are definitely not helpful for me). Is the feature hidden somewhere I do not see or this is a bug that needs to be fixed in the latest nightly version of 3D Slicer? Please advise. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,  
Magda.

Hi -

For the latest versions, tractography support is now in [SicerDMRI](http://dmri.slicer.org/) which you can install via the extension manager.

Best,  
Steve

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much for the clarification! I really appreciate it. I did not think of that. I just did and worked great.

Best regards,

Magda.
