adding the ribs

Post by Adam Kaye » Mon Jan 13, 2020 10:06 pm

Hello,

Thank you for creating this model. I am interested in looking at the forces that move the ribs during normal breathing. I have been able to hide most of the bones that are not necessary for the model, but I can not seem to show the ribs themselves. Can you help me with this?

Thank you,

Adam Kaye, MD

Were you able to solve this problem? I just downloaded the model, and would also like to be able to see the ribs.

We are in the process of uploading a OpenSim v4.x version (read, as in today) that will have a viewable ribcage (among other subtle, but soundly based mods).
Thanks for using our model, and please let us know if you have any questions.
