Generate a scout

Hello,
I am in the process of constructing the scouts and have reviewed the relevant training materials. However, I am uncertain whether this task can be undertaken only after locating the source, or if it can be done beforehand as well. Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on how to achieve the 3D model mentioned in the training, which would allow me to successfully create the scout afterward.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter, as I aim to proceed with building the scout in this environment.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @tara70
You can build your scouts from your surface anatomy.
Please check this quick video:

Thank you very much

Hello,
I am analyzing the vertices generated in the video and would like to know how I can retrieve their location data. Could you please guide me on the best approach to extract this information?

I would greatly appreciate your insights.

In the Scout menu, there is the option Export to Matlab

The exported variable contains the set of vertices that comprise the Scout.
These vertices are just the indices of the surface vertices, so you would need to load the surface and get the coordinates for those vertices:

Thank you very much
