setting the ground plane...

[Alessia8086]

Hi again, just to be sure, the ground plane for full mocap can be done easelly just putting the ground plate on the floor, for the face acquisition its enough to have the plate in your hands ( so suspended over the floor)? taking in consideration of course to have it align properly, the z sign should point towards the camera right?
sorry for the dumb question

When placing a ground plane, the long arm marked "Z" should point down the Z axis (towards the positive) of your volume. The shorter arm points down the X axis (towards the negative) of your volume.

If you are doing this for Expression, the Z axis indicator should point towards the cameras.

Not a problem. It would help to have the ground plane level and mounted on a tripod when setting it.
