Hi Matt, Better to do it this way: from VolumeEraser import gui d = gui.volume_eraser_dialog() d.erase_inside_sphere() The way you are doing will create a new dialog each time you run the code whereas the above will use the same dialog over and over.

Hi,

I need some help as to how to call Erase() from VolumeEraser

I am thinking it is something like this, but I am unable to determine what xxxxx value should be.

from VolumeEraser.gui import Volume_Eraser_Dialog Volume_Eraser_Dialog.Erase(xxxxx)
