Hi! Previously i have used the mask volume tool to export a segment into volume renderings. However, i found in the newest slicer version (5.4) when i use mask volume nothing is showing up in the volume rendering. any thoughts?

Have you checked the dropdown in Volume Rendering to see if the new volume is in the list? You might need to actually select it then enable visibility.
