Motive marker tracking in 3D

[anagysm]

Hi everyone here,

I'm new in Motive and the 3D world also. I would like to track markers in the 3D coordinate systems. Could someone turn me a right direction?
The cameras are not arrived yet so now I can't do real time experiments. I installed the Motive 2.3.0 Final, NatNet 3.1.0 and the latest Camera SDK. I tried to start with the example takes but I'm confused and lost in this world.
In my application I want to watch and measure the deflection of a table with one end fixed. So I will apply some markers onto the table. Should this be treated as a rigid body in the program or can the 3D position of the markers be read out without it? Finally I going to do it with Motive API and Camera SDK.

Any comment appreciated.

Thank you!

Regards,
Attila
