For Skeleton Assets

Export Markers

Rename Markers

Imports skeleton marker template XML file onto the selected asset. If you wish to apply the imported XML for labeling, all of the skeleton markers need to be unlabeled and auto-labeled again.

Update Markers

Imports the default skeleton marker template XML files. This feature can be used to update skeleton assets that are created before Motive 1.10 to include marker colors and sticks.

Recalibrate From Markers

Re-calibrates an existing skeleton. This feature is essentially same as re-creating a skeleton using the same skeleton Marker Set. See Skeleton Tracking page for more information on using the skeleton template XML files.

For Marker Sets

Generate Markers

This option colors the labeled markers and creates marker sticks that inter-connects between each of consecutive labels. More specifically, this will modify the marker XML file. It adds values to the color attributes and generates Marker Stick elements so that users can export the markers and easily modify the colors and sticks as needed.
