6.3 Creating segmented structure
6.3.1 Creating a structure by copying
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Functionality is available in the Pro edition
____________________________________________________________________________________________
When you create a structure by copying, a new structure is created. Depending on the selected
element, the current structure is copied to the new structure as a whole (the mask of the current
structure and the surface, if it was built), only the mask of the structure or only the surface. To create
a structure:
-
Open the segmentation panel by clicking the Segmented structure panel 
button.
-
Choose the base volume or the structure created earlier as the initial volume.
-
Click the Duplicate structure 
button on the segmented structure panel or place
the cursor over the structure, click the right mouse button and choose the Duplicate
structure point in the right-click menu. Depending on the option selected, the whole
structure or just the surface is copied to a separate structure.
 | If
the
Structure
or
Base
volume
option
has
been
selected,
the
structure
mask
and
the
surface
(when
built)
are
copied
to
the
new
structure.
If
the
MPR,
Volume
model,
or
Mask
option
has
been
selected,
only
the
structure
mask
is
copied
to
the
new
structure.
If
the
Surface
option
has
been
selected,
only
the
surface
is
copied
to
the
new
structure. |
