I am using the hallow module to create a hallow model, with the desired width. However, when I check the model’s thickness in meshmixer it seems like the thickness is roughly half of the desired width. Would you please suggest a way to measure the thickness of the generated hallow model in the Slicer and also compare the results in any other 3D software to make sure that the generated model has the same thickness?
Thank you for your reply. I imported my segmentation in Slicer 4.11, however when I try to grow the margin of the segmentation with the desired thickness, it has almost the same thickness as previous(almost half of the desire value). Is the problem fixed both for hallow and the the margin modules?
Margin size in “Margin” effect still refers to overall margin (the structure will be wider by the margin size in total, so width is increased by half the margin size on all sides). I agree that it is confusion and it should work the same way as hollow effect.
We have a pending pull request by @sunderlandkyl that hugely improves speed of these effects for large values - we’ll change interpretation of the margin size when that gets integrated.
