Hello everyone,
I’m trying to make a simply version of 3d slicer using the Jupyter notebook.
I would like to enable the « sphere » brush option and be able to choose the % of the brush in my def paint but didn’t find a way to do it properly.
For now the brush is working find but only in 2d.
Thank you

I’ve managed to resolve my issue by adding this line:
```
segmentEditorWidget.effectByName("Paint").setCommonParameter("BrushSphere", 1)
```

Hello everyone,
I’m currently coding in a 3d slicer Jupyter notebook in order to make a simplify version of 3d slicer with only the tools I need.
I would like to enable the « sphere » brush option and be able to choose the % of the brush in my def paint but didn’t find a way to do it properly.
For now the brush is working find but only in 2d.
Thank you!

It worked for me thanks a lot!
I’m now trying to do the same thing with the diameter of the brush

> Good. I guess not re-creating the segment editor widget fixed the selection reset issue. Brush parameters are shared between paint and erase effects, so it is a common parameter, which need to be set by using setCommonParameter method: effect.setCommonParameter("BrushDiameterIsRelative", "0") effect.setCommonParameter("BrushAbsoluteDiameter", newDiam)
