![I manually downloaded the weights for DentalSegmentator, but I still cannot apply the plugin. Is it because the weights are placed in the wrong location, or is there another issue? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/d/4/d4f406b1d9dc17adfff989903afb9b68a2f1edd6.jpeg)

Can you provide more information? Depending on your architecture, segmentation may take hours to complete.

Thank you for your kindly reply. I have resolved the problem assisted by Deepseek , although it costed me so much time. By the way, I found that the preview edition is more convenient for new user like me .
