Pre-Align

In case the two volumes are some distance apart, Pre-Align helps to bring the volumes in close proximity to each other by centering the adjustable volume on the fixed reference volume.

Recalculate

Recalculates the bounding box around the two volumes. A bounding box is displayed surrounding both images. After an alignment of the images, the bounding box can be too large (enclosing empty space) or too small (not surrounding both images anymore) and can be recalculated.

Reset

Resets the alignment as it was when you started this alignment operation.

Apply

Applies the alignment to the ZEN Connect project.
