Hello Slicer Developers,

I would like to tackle some improvements to the markups module. This was discussed in the thread:  
[https://discourse.slicer.org/t/a-users-proposal-for-markups-module-enhancements/](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/a-users-proposal-for-markups-module-enhancements/)

Before I jump in I would like to see if anyone has been working in this area or has other feedback. The issues I’d like to address first are:  
○ Landmarks sticking and sliding on surface  
○ One click 3D angle, length measurements from LMs.  
○ SA/Volume measurements through segment editor.  
○ Read a template for LM names, sequence  
○ Fine control for LM placement

Thanks!

Sara, apologies for off-topic, but I can’t see a DM option. Were you at NeuroVista? If so, quite a coincidence to see you here!

@danagood small hint: click on Sara’s name and there’s a message button 😄

@smrolfe this is great to hear! I’m sure @lassoan will chime in. It might be time to start a [labs page](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs) to keep notes.

Thanks @pieper, I’ve created a new labs page, [Improving Markups](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs/Improving_Markups) to start documenting this.

Great. I made some changes and additions to it as well.

These are all good features to develop. I don’t think any of these features are implemented.

I have design ideas for some of them, so if you decide to start working on one then start a discussion here (or in a new topic).
