Split Volume by Color Zone Split Volume by Color Zone icon

Split Volume by Color Zone splits volume data into separate sets according to zones previously defined with Color Zone.

There are several ways to call Split Volume by Color Zone, a tool in the Volume Data category (including from the Volume Viewer Tools menu).

Calling the tool splits the current set of data in Volume Viewer into separate data sets corresponding to zones previously defined with Color Zone. A data set is created for each distinct color and for the "uncolored" data (in the zone remaining when the color zones are subtracted from the original volume). Values outside the respective zones are set to zero. The new data sets are named by appending numbers (0, 1, 2, ...) to the name of the original volume data. The number 0 is associated with the uncolored region, whereas the other numbers correspond to the distinct colors in an unpredictable order. The original volume data is hidden but not modified.

Each data set can be saved to a file with Volume Viewer.
