A new effect has been added to the Segment Editor Extra Effects to split a volume using a segmentation. The output is a volume for each segment, cropped to the extent of the segment with optional padding. This can be used for tasks such as the separation of multiple specimen in a single scan.

This effect is available with the nightly Slicer version in the SegmentEditorExtraEffects extension. A brief demo is posted here: [https://youtu.be/GtP4DJtMjnk](https://youtu.be/GtP4DJtMjnk)

Thanks @lassoan for your help with this.

@anitakh1 The latest SegmentEditorExtraEffects extension can run on both Slicer 4.10.2 and Slicer nightly.
