+#In addition, a number of preset Volume Properties is available through Inputs->Preset selector. When a preset is selected the properties are copied from it in to a current Volume Property node. The reason for this is that presets cannot be edited while node available in the Property selector are editable.

-In Volumes Following mode, color and opacity transfer functions in the VolumeRendering module will follow window/level and threshold settings in the Volumes module for a uniform appearance on both slice view and 3D volume rendering view. To use, check VolumeRendering module -> Rendering panel -> Volume Property tab -> Follow Volumes Module check button.

-In Volumes Following mode, window/level plus lookup table in Volumes module will be used to set colors in volume rendering. Threshold in Volumes module will be used to set opacity in volume rendering. Color and opacity transfer function editor also are disabled in Volumes Following mode because we are following volumes module now.
