You can also customize the 3D Model view by switching from the Model Maker module to the Models module. Clicking on each of the model components in the list presents options for changing the visibility, colors, opacity, etc. You can also view information about each segmentation component such as surface area and volume.

Info
titleNote relating to surface area and volume values in the Models module

From Steve Pieper on the Slicer-Devel mailing list:
You can get that in the Information section of the Models module (click on the model you want to measure). Note that this method estimates the volume based on the surface triangles and can fail if there are holes or other topological issues with the model. If you created the models from label maps in slicer, you are better off using the Label Statistics to calculate a volume of a region.

To more accurately calculate volumes and related info use the Label Statistics module, then select your DICOM series for the Grayscale Volume, and the associated label map. Click Apply to calculate the information, and optionally click Save to export this data to a CSV file.
