Hey does anybody how to get the model marker positions? I don't want the angle, but rather the coordinates (e.g. x,y,z) of particular markers of interest. I have seen it may be possible in the "Tools," "Analyze," "Analyses," "Point Kinematics," "Add," "Point Kinematics," and then click and edit, then some process from here which I am unsure of?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Alexandra,

After reaching the 'edit' stage you need to specify the body/frame for which the marker is expressed to locally - the body_name tag. Then you need to specify in which body/frame you want this marker to be expressed, assuming the ground, - relative_to_body_name tag. The point_name tag is for specifying the name of the point (set as you desire). The point tag in the GUI should have a plus (+) icon next to it, click that and you can specify the local coordinates for the marker you are interested in (they should be 0,0,0 to begin with).

Hope that helps!
