Hi.  
I have developed a new extension of 3dslicer that make that you want. However, my institution desire first that I value it by an article.  
When do you want calculate your filament trace?  
Since then, this [topic](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/calculate-a-scalp-to-scalp-distance/1141/51) could help you.  
Best.
