Merge And Build
The three labels correspond to the three different label maps that we have edited for the pons (pink), the ventricles (blue) and the right eyeball, lateral geniculate body and optic tract (yellow).

Merging label maps
The Merge tool will merge the label maps of the anatomical structures that we have edited into a single label map
Grayscale-label1

Merge And Build
Click on Merge And Build button to put the different structures in the Merge volume and build the models from the segmented structures.
The three label maps will be merged in the order that they appear in the table.
