Hello, I am trying to analyze surface scans of bird beaks as part of my PhD research project. I need to count lamellae (teeth like structures) as a ratio of the bill length. I have been able to place my landmarks and measurements to the top surface of the bill but the issue i'm running into is that I need them to be visible from the bottom side of the bill also to do the rest of my measurements and landmark placements. Is there a way to place a landmark through the 3d mesh or have the arrow attached to landmark be double sided. Alternatively is there a way to draw/place a line through a landmark or the mesh itself so that I can be able to follow it for my other landmark placement?

We recommend trying the following things:
1. From the View menu, you can change the surface opacity from 100% to 75%, 50%, or 25%. This will allow you to see the landmark points through the surface.
2. You can also align the slice-window cross-hairs to your specimen such that one of the slice planes align to the direction you want to follow from your landmark point.
