Hi there  
I was wondering whether I could paint slice of any orientation in segment editor. The three default views work just fine but I want to paint in other direction because some of my structure doesn’t display well in the default views.  
I’ve tried transfomation of volume, but the segment painting is not transformed as what happened to the volume.  
Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks a lot.

The optimal solution depends on what you would like to achieve, but common solutions are described in this segmentation recipe: [https://lassoan.github.io/SlicerSegmentationRecipes/ObliqueSliceSegmentation/](https://lassoan.github.io/SlicerSegmentationRecipes/ObliqueSliceSegmentation/)
