I have several different surface labels that I am converting into volume regions-of-interest in white matter. For 2 out of 11 participants, one of the labels will not convert. My command has worked for these two participants with all other labels that I've tried. I have no trouble viewing the label in question on the inflated surface with freeview, and no problem viewing the brain.mgz files.
