Opening Data

If you have just opened Amira for the first time, you will need to upload a data set to the file on which to work. To do this please view instructions at Uploading Data into Amira


If you are attempting to load a previously created network: Click File > Open Network. This will open a Load Network Window. Find your desired file and Click Load Opening an existing network will populate the main window with bubbles of information which you previously created. You can use these bubbles to modify your 3D surfaces which will be explained below.

Visualizing your Model

Creating a full model Surface

In order to see a smoothed 3D version of your model you will need to generate a series of surfaces to wrap around the materials you originally created in segmentation mode. To do this:

1. Right click your labels file (a green bubble located under your original data bubble) to open a drop down menu

2. Choose Compute > SurfaceGen. This will cause a red bubble to pop up which will be joined to your labels file via a line segment.

3. Click on the red SurfaceGen bubble. In the bottom half of the pool window, click apply. This process will take some time, depending on the size of your model. You will see a red bar process across the bottom of the screen showing Amira's progress in processing this action.

4. Upon this action completing, a new green labels bubble will pop up joined to the red SurfaceGen bubble.

5. Right click the new labels bubble and select Display > SurfaceView. This will cause a yellow SurfaceView bubble to pop up joined to the labels file. You should now be able to visualize your entire model in a smoothed form in the Amira viewer window. Click the small box within SurfaceView bubble to toggle the model on and off. (orange = on, grey = off)

The above instructions just created a model composed of all of your surfaces which can't be separated into individual surfaces. To do this follow the instructions below.
