Properties Window - Multiple Markers Simultaneously

[Olivier Desclaux]

Hello everyone,

I am quite new to OpenSim, so I hope I am not asking a dummy question. I scrapped the user guide and the forum, but didn't find the answer to my question:

In the properties window, is it possible to view the properties of different objects simultaneously?
For example, I am creating a custom marker set, and I wish to compare the coordinates of two different markers. It would be great to see their properties side by side.

Thanks,

Olivier

I'm not aware of a way to do that, but perhaps one way to look at these is to peek into the model (or xml) file that contains the markers. You can open the .osim or .xml file in a plain text editor (often Notepad++ is recommended) and then find the MarkerSet and see the locations of all of them together.

Hi Carmichael,

Thank you for your answer,

Hello,

You could also view the xml representation of any object in the model from the scripting shell using the command

Code: Select all

getCurrentModel().findComponent('componentNameHere').dump()

though this flattens the xml representation into a single line that may end up too long.

Hope this helps,
