Hello,  
We are trying to load a mesh file into a volume rendering. We’d like to be able to move the mesh file around and place it in the volume rendering. Can you help me understand if this is possible.

Yes! I’m sure this is each but for some reason it’s been an elusive task.

Well, just load your volume and your mesh and place it with a transform.
