When it is activated, the contours can be rendered as ribbons with a width of the slice thickness, or as full surfaces. The example shown below is a rendering of the VOIs derived from outlining the AAL template.

In the 3D tool, the VOIs are organized in a tree

so that each structure can individually be shown, hidden and colored. This might be helpful for interactive demonstration purposes to visualize the spatial relationship of the structures.
