We have added a new module called “Dynamic Modeler” to the latest Slicer preview releases (4.11). This module provides an extensible framework for automatic processing of mesh nodes by executing “Tools” on the input to generate output mesh. [3D Slicer: Dynamic Modeler - Parametric Surface E…

@Sunderlandkyl @lassoan I am trying the curveCut implementation, and getting “Can’t follow edge. No input data” error. Are these implemented or they are place holders? This is what I am trying to cut: [image]

It is fully implemented and should work well. Can you share your scene with us so that we can investigate?

Sure. here it is: https://app.box.com/s/x5y85fzrcxwueefox7i53eep6whhqqiv I am using the resampled curve to cut.

There are two issues: the mesh has has very large, unevenly sized, ill-shaped cells, so methods that rely on path searching between points run into trouble (similarly to how some image processing algorithms cannot operate on very low-resolution images) the mesh has multiple disconnected regions (i…

Thanks Andras. I do not have the original high-res mesh anymore, but I do have the volume it came from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muratmaga/Hominoid_Skulls/master/Gorilla_gorilla/gor_template0_cleaned.nrrd After segmentation via threshold (10.15-Max), I am trying what you suggested and wh…

I segmented using Threshold and Smoothing (Fill holes), exported to surface, and then used Surface Toolbox successfully: [image] Complete scene: Microsoft OneDrive With 95% decimation, curve cut is quite usable but it sometimes requires some adjustment of the curve to find path between points. P…

These settings worked for me too! Thanks.

[image] lassoan: the mesh has multiple disconnected regions (internal cavities), so when the surface cut is completed and the curve cut tool finds the largest mesh piece, it finds and extracts an already disconnected region (because that is larger than the small extracted patch) - @sunderlandkyl ,…

An optional seed would be great. Instead of smallest/largest region, we should return the inside and “inverse of inside” (I don’t remember which filter we use, but there should be either an option to return both inside and outside surface or a flag to invert the selection).

I’ve implemented multiple fixes in the VTK filter that the Curve cut tool uses. As a result, cuts are now always successful (Can’t follow edge never occurs) and also more accurate (previously the cuts sometimes did not go all the way to the boundaries). I’ve also added an additional option for strai…
