Hi there,

I’m new using 3dslicer, and I wonder if I can work in python, put in same folder of the file some extensions and call them like functions. Its possible that?

I need to obtain the center line of a volume and I had success using the extension. I have other process that I already run in my python file, so I would like to integrate this last process to the others in my python environment.

Thanks!  
Lucas.

Hey 👋  
Have a look at the documentation related to creating extensions. It’s a very good starting point [Extensions — 3D Slicer documentation](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/extensions.html)
