Hi,  
I don’t understand why the segmentation looks so bad compare to other software.  
Do you have a idea to increase that?

I am looking to calculate volume. The 3D object looks also to squarred, and when I apply a smoothing on it, it shrinks the volume on the 3D objet (not the calculated size)  
Thanks you for your help

In the segmentations advanced section you can change the way the 2D views are displayed. Typically we like to see the binary labelmap version since that’s what you are actually editing, but showing the smoothed contour can also be useful.
