Generating an AIM model

Now you can proceed to creating an AIM model from the saved file.

1. Click the Generate Model icon in the top toolbar.

   

2. Select “Create new model,” and click “Next.”

   

3. Check the model preview to confirm that all of the markers are present and that the connections between them create a logical structure. Note that these are not anatomical bones or the visual bones that you might have added while labeling the trial; they are marker connections that QTM has identified based on the motions.

   

4. If a connection is misplaced—for example, linking the knees to each other—use the “Delete bone” tool to remove it. When deleting a bone, QTM will create an alternative connection, so you may need to repeat the process until the correct markers are linked.

   

5. It is recommended that markers which are more likely to become obstructed from view of the cameras be placed at the ends of bone chains.

   

6. Click “Next” again, enter a name for your AIM model, and click “OK.”

   

7. QTM will let you know that it has successfully generated the model, and you can click “Finish.”

   

The new AIM model will automatically be enabled in Project Options.
