Introduction

This module is used for loading, saving, changing the appearance of, and organizing 3d surface models. The module is a core module for Slicer 3.

Load

• Load Model allows the user to load a single model, of any type that Slicer recognizes. This includes VTK polydata, BYU, XML polydata, STL files and FreeSurfer surface files.
• Load Model directory will load all the VTK models (*.vtk) that are located in in the selected directory
• Load FreeSurfer Overlay will load a FreeSurfer scalar overlay file and associate it with the currently active model.

Display

• Load Freesurfer Overlay: If you have a Freesurfer surface model (e.g. lh.orig) you can select here the overlay (e.g. lh.sulc)
• Model Select: Select the model that you want to modify from a list
• Visibility: turn a model on or off
• Scalar visibility: If the model comes with a scalar field you can make it visible or not, selcet the active scalar, if there are multiple and select the Color Mapping (e.g. rainbow)
• Clipping:
• Opacity:
