Hi muratmaga

Thanks for your answer.

The challenge with this approach is that modifying a fiducial position easily and effectively is not straightforward, at least with the current tools. More so, if you are doing it in 3D renderer. It is almost easier to do it from scratch, and copy and paste the landmark label from a text file.

Yes, that is exactly the problem. I could create a list with the desired names and the fiducial at the origin (0,0,0), but then it’s not possible to reposition the fiducial to the surface of the object, especially if the object is far away from the origin.

So IMO it would be useful if an existing fiducial could be repositioned easily including the stick-to-surface feature: https://streamable.com/kc47h

A slightly better approach would be do a full set of landmarks on one of your specimens, and save it as a reference. Then, register every sample rigidly to that one, and then load the reference landmarks. That way at least the landmark set will be in roughly approximate positions. However, if you have large size differences it would not work.

I think this would introduce bias to the rating. The rater should determine the postion by himself without seeing a rough approximation.
