External Email - Use Caution Dear all, I had problems with BEM surfaces of FreeSurfer, thus I tried to correct them with the software Blender. After manual editing, according to plots, the intersections between the outer skull and outer skin disappear. However, when I run my Python script to create the 3-layer BEM model (conductivity = (0.3, 0.006, 0.3)), I have the same error message: ?FAILED to create 3-layer BEM for sub009: Surface outer skull is not completely inside surface outer skin.? I am using the ds117 dataset. Plots (subject 9): \* Original plot without edit:?[https://correoipn-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/jliconam1700\_alumno\_ipn\_mx/Ee725N\_sYlhHtVMvMVDq7UABDrd6yjCwE9unGYMVVj3UvQ?e=co8vb4](https://correoipn-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/jliconam1700_alumno_ipn_mx/Ee725N_sYlhHtVMvMVDq7UABDrd6yjCwE9unGYMVVj3UvQ?e=co8vb4) \* Plot after Blender edit: [https://correoipn-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/jliconam1700\_alumno\_ipn\_mx/EQjGk\_LZgyNItO-sJ8dYLZgB9a6W1HfqzqtiIEZYy6dlQA?e=KAlbM4](https://correoipn-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/jliconam1700_alumno_ipn_mx/EQjGk_LZgyNItO-sJ8dYLZgB9a6W1HfqzqtiIEZYy6dlQA?e=KAlbM4) Any advice?

External Email - Use Caution The first image did not come through. But in the second (corrected) one, in the lower left plot you can see the outer skull (yellow) surface come very close to the outer skin (peach) surface. `plot_bem` by default only shows some slices -- if you use mne Report to render the bem with `decim=1` you'll get an interactive slider where you can see all slices. There are probably some slices for which they do intersect. You can also plot them in 3D using `plot_alignment` with the `surfaces` argument, or use FreeView -- or there is probably a way to view them in Blender to see where they intersect. Could you slightly expand downward (and smooth -- it's quite jagged) the outer skin surface in blender? Eric ---

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, I solved the problem for Subject 09. In the Blender edit images that I sent you, there are no intersections (I analyzed the plot in detail); for this case, I only modified the outer skin. However, when I changed the outer skull solely, the problem finished. I exclusively employed mne.viz.plot\_bem, although also I would consider Eric's options. For new users, I recommend make little modifications in Blender, then check the BEM plots (mne.viz.plot\_bem) and save the plots. The idea is that you detect step by step, which parts of the surfaces to modify and eliminate the intersections between the surfaces. Here is the original tutorial: [Page Redirection](https://mne.tools/stable/auto_tutorials/source-modeling/plot_fix_bem_in_blender.html#sphx-glr-auto-tutorials-source-modeling-plot-fix-bem-in-blender-py).
