Dears in 3D Slicer community,  
could any one please help me in regard to this issue:  
I have segmented the mandibular condyle, but when save it is empty from inside (not solid) as you can see in the figure below:

I need it to be solid for further analysis that is not running correctly now due to this problem?  
Could you help me knowing what it is like this? how could I save it to be in solid form not empty one?  
Thank you in advance

Please try the [WrapSolidify](https://github.com/sebastianandress/Slicer-SurfaceWrapSolidify#surface-wrap-solidify) effect.

You can add it to the segment editor by using the extensions manager.

Hope it helps

thanks a lot, dear for your help, I have tried using the wrapSolidify but unfortunately the problem getting it further processed in SPHARM PDM- generator still persists
