====== Setup Rigid Body ======


===== Marker Placement =====

Setup a rigid body with markers or use one of the preconfigured ones. 
A rigid body should:

  * Have at **least 3 reflectors**
  * Reflectors should **not** be placed symetrical
  * Reflectors should **not** be just in one line (i.e. like the wand)


===== Create Rigid Body =====

Place the rigid body on the center of the trackingspace so that all markers can be seen by the cameras.

In Motive, go to ''Menu > Layout > Create''.

**Select all reflectors** of the rigid body in the perspective view and ''Right Click on the Markers > Rigid Body > Create from selected markers''.

Once created, give the body a **unique name** and choose a **unique Streaming ID**.

Adjust some additional properties if necessary:

  * **Smoothing**:  The higher the number, the smoother the movements - but also creates more latency
  * **Max Deflection**: The maximum distance, in millimeters, that a marker may deviate from its expected position before it is not considered as a part of the rigid body. Lower values creating a more accurate solve but with a higher risk of gaps in the data. Higher deflection settings can allow for more continuous data, but with the potential for less accuracy in the rigid body tracking.
