Hand skeleton and measurements
In the hand processing workflow, MSoft allows for the
addition of a skeleton on the hand. Adding this skeleton will provide
additional measurements. This step assumes that the hand was processed and is
at the final step post-reconstruction.
If you are unsure on how to add a skeleton, please refer to
this page on alignment methods and how to add a skeleton.
When adding a skeleton to the hand, the markers should look
like this:
Starting from the thumb, the colors should be in this
order: red, purple, yellow, green and blue.
When adding the skeleton, the step is done automatically for
hands. In the instance that the markers are added incorrectly, they will need
to be corrected manually. The manual correction is done by dragging the points
to the correct finger with the help of the mouse, similarly to other parts of
the software like manual markers.
If the references are set properly, the hand should look
like this in post-processing:
If you are unable to correct or manipulate the skeleton markers, please contact us directly and join the problematic file for further troubleshooting.
