create a rigid body with markers of different sizes?

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to create a rigid body with markers of different sizes?

For example, I have created a 3D printed rigid body that I have fixed to an instrument and most of the markers on that rigid body are 6.4mm M3 markers but to differentiate it from other rigid bodies I was thinking of inserting a 3mm facial markers. 192.168.l.l 192.168.0.1

So is it possible to create a rigid body in motive with four 6.4mm markers and one 3mm facial marker?

Thanks in advance.

Hi dicasog,

Thanks for sharing your question with the community.

You can use different sized markers to create your rigid body, but Motive will not pay attention to marker size while tracking it. Markers of different sizes are treated the same in Motive, so we typically utilize markers that are the same size.

Cheers,
Steven
