A model is a 3D surface.

Technical Note: The data format for the models that Slicer reads in is vtkPolyData.

To load models:

1. In the Data panel, click Add Model. The Props tab of the Models panel appears.

   

2. To find the model file, click Browse. A dialog box appears.

   

3. Select the model that you would like to load, and click Open.
4. The Name field is the name that your model will have within Slicer. You may change this to something descriptive, like "Vessels".
5. From the Color pull-down menu, you can select your model's color as it will appear in the 3D Viewer.
6. Finally, click Apply to read in the model.
