is there a way to reset the slice view back without restarting after using MIP or thick slab reconstruction?

After this I am restarting Slicer if i need to change the projecton. Is there a way to reset to previous state ? Closing the scene does not correct/reset it.

You can set SlabNumberOfSlices back to 1.

For reference, [here](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.10/ScriptRepository#Thick_slab_reconstruction_and_maximum.2Fminimum_intensity_volume_projections) is the code for setting number of slices in a slab.
