#### Step 3

Upon completion, the color of the volume data will change, indicating that the mask has been generated. You can view the generated mask data in the Mask list.

#### Step 5

After the mesh data is created, the appearance of the volume data will be altered, and you can verify the addition of the mesh data in the \[Model List] located on the right side of the screen.
