Chapter 3: Thorax segment definition

The peculiarity of defining a thorax earned this segment it’s own chapter. Due to the technical definition of proximal and distal, picking targets or landmarks can get confusing. Also, the segment coordinate system will most likely need to be rotated to suit your needs. In this chapter, we focus not only on defining the thorax segment, but also on customizing its appearance in the 3D viewer.
