Hi Fernando - Thank you for your kind words. You can indeed try the reinit option as Christofer suggested when one of the pathways looks like a single curve and not like a volume.
However, because some of your other pathways in the screenshots look a bit funky too, I would also check that there was nothing wrong with the gradient directions. An easy way to check that is by looking at the eigenvectors from the tensor fit (dmri/dtifit_V1.nii.gz). Although tracula itself doesn't use tensors, if there's something wrong with the gradient directions, it'll show up in the tensor fit.
If you're not sure how to check, you can upload all tracula-related directories of your subject here and I'll take a look:

Dear Freesurfer/Tracula users, Finally I could successfully test Tracula and I think it is amazing what it can do automatically. These are the commands I used: export FREESURFER_HOME=${HOME}/Programs/freesurfer_510 && source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh source /etc/fsl/fsl.sh export FSLPARALLEL=condor trac-all -prep -c /home/labneuroimg/STATION_FLENI/Tensores/Fernando_Ventrice/dmrirc_Fernando_Ventrice trac-all -bedp -c /home/labneuroimg/STATION_FLENI/Tensores/Fernando_Ventrice/dmrirc_Fernando_Ventrice # "trac-all -bedp" gave some errors so I used bedpostx directly: bedpostx /home/labneuroimg/STATION_FLENI/Tensores/Fernando_Ventrice/20120112_VENTRICE_FERNANDO/dmri trac-all -path -c /home/labneuroimg/STATION_FLENI/Tensores/Fernando_Ventrice/dmrirc_Fernando_Ventrice freeview -tv /home/labneuroimg/STATION_FLENI/Tensores/Fernando_Ventrice/20120112_VENTRICE_FERNANDO/dpath/merged_avg33_mni_flt.mgz -v /home/labneuroimg/STATION_FLENI/Tensores/Fernando_Ventrice/20120112_VENTRICE_FERNANDO/dmri/dtifit_FA.nii.gz & All finished without errors, but there seems to be a problem with CC Forceps Mayor volume, which gave very small values. Is this OK or I made some mistake? First I tested with some patient and other fiber tracks also gave very small volumes. I attached some pictures and the dmrirc and trac-all log files.
