_# Consider having defined “origin” (a 3d array point), “axis1” (a 3d array axis), “alpha” (a float)_

_# Rotation process_  
_transform1 = vtk.vtkTransform()_

_transform1.Translate(-origin[0], -origin[1], -origin[2])_

_transform1.RotateWXYZ(np.degrees(alpha), axis1[0], axis1[1], axis1[2])_

_transform1.Translate(origin[0], origin[1], origin[2])_

_# Apply the rotation on axis1_  
_volumeNode.ApplyTransform(transform1)_

_# Save a scene view_  
_sceneView = slicer.mrmlScene.CreateNodeByClass(‘vtkMRMLSceneViewNode’)_

_sceneView.SetScene(slicer.mrmlScene)_

_sceneView.SetName(‘View\_1’)_

_slicer.mrmlScene.AddNode(sceneView)_

_sceneView.StoreScene()_

_# Recover the original volume by applying inverse transformation_  
_inverseTransform1 = transform1.GetInverse()_

_volumeNode.ApplyTransform(inverseTransform1)_

With the code snipped above, I have some issues storing my volume at a certain state in a view.

When I try to apply a first transformation, then take a view, and revert the transformation, the view doesn’t save the transformed state, but only the reverted state.

Can someone explain me why and help me find a solution ?
