Hi, I’m trying to find the position of the scapula in CT scans, like the one described here:

[Three-dimensional clavicle displacement analysis and its effect on scapular position in acute clavicle midshaft fracture - ScienceDirect](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1058274619302319?casa_token=HGF5fyzpn4IAAAAA:wyyUE96Jo_t-EEdDQjFdQtjmtOFOnGHd58lwOBnpfapycvovp702mzFGcyktPidTn7akTEDQf1o#)!

However I could not get any tangible measurements. I tried to use the same methodology as the the article above but I failed to create a plane using three points and I’m rather stuck now.

Please go to the markups module, click on create a plane but don’t click on a view yet, stay on the side panel. Then, there is option to create the plane from 3 points and other configurations. Now you can go to the 3D or sliceView and create your plane from 3 points

Didn’t know it was such a simple solution. Thank you so much.  
You are the best.
