# Voxel Brush

Overview of the Voxel Brush labeling tool in Ango Hub

The voxel brush labeling tool is a 3D pixel-wise tool to assign voxels on medical imaging assets to certain classes.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Voxel Brush tool is supported across the DICOM and Medical labeling editors.
{% endhint %}

## Adding a Voxel Brush tool to your project

From your project's *Settings* tab, enter the *Category Schema* section. Click on *Add Category*, then on *Voxel Brush*. The tool will be added to your project:

Once the tool has been added to your project, clicking on it wil reveal its settings.

**Schema ID**: This is a unique ID Ango Hub assigns to your tool. It's most important when attempting to import pre-annotations. [Read more about medical pre-annotations here](/data/importing-and-exporting-annotations/importing-annotations/importing-nrrd-annotations.md).

**Title**: A name of your choosing for this tool/class.

**Required**: If enabled, the annotator must have created at least one segmentation with this tool before being able to submit the task.

**Add Classification**: From this section, you may add nested classifications (attributes) to your class. Please refer to [the docs page on the medical labeling editor](/labeling/labeling-editor-interface/medical-labeling-editor.md#tool-class-list) for more information on how to annotate attributes.

## Threshold Editable Area

The in-editor *Editable Area* setting is documented with the other Medical editor brush controls, including *Brush Size*, *Brush Mode*, and *Brush Type*. See the [Medical Labeling Editor](/labeling/labeling-editor-interface/medical-labeling-editor.md#brush-tool) page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.imerit.net/labeling/labeling-tools/tools/voxel-brush.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
