 ### Changed
 - Measured distances will be shown in voxel space, too. [#5240](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/5240)
+- Meshes that are imported by the user in the meshes tab are now rendered the same way as generated isosurface meshes. [#5326](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/5326)
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed a regression in the task search which could lead to a frontend crash. [#5267](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/5267)
