I've just started using Reconstruct and made the mistake of not tracing all my traces in the same direction (clockwise). Is there a way to select a trace and...
Dear Mat, In the Trace menu, select "Reverse". You should also select "Automatically simplify new closed traces" in Serie/Options/Autotracing which takes care...
Hi: One way that you can verify that a trace has a clockwise or counterclockwise (i.e. "reversed") orientation is by checking the area measurement in the...
Hi, I'm trying to obtain the value of the volume of some spines. I understand that the volume is computed using the Cavalieri formula, but my question is where...
In the Object list - first go to series options>List>Objects>click on the values you want to display - in this case volume. Kristen M. Harris, PhD Professor,...
Hi Rosa, Just open the "Series Options" with "Strg"+"o" (or via GUI menu "Series/Options"), there you go to the "Lists"-Tab and activate the approbiate...
Hi again, I have another very basic question, this time about the areas. What is the difference between flat area and surface area?, I noticed that the values...
I suggest you read the manual carefully about this one. It explains it well. Kristen M. Harris, PhD Professor, Neurobiology Fellow, Center for Learning and...
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to export a 3D scene so that it could be presented as an avi file or some other file that can play in microsoft power...
Yes - If you export as a VMRL file, you should be able to import it into an AVI maker - though what I usually do is have the movie running in a VMRL viewer...
Freez Screen Video Capture at: http://www.smallvideosoft.com/ With this you can capture on a avi file whathever you do on your desktop. You can play the 3D...
Hello, everyone, I am trying to find a way to export the x,y,z coordinate of the objects. Now I have around 500 objects in a stack, each represented by a...
... I have been using two methods successfuuly for the last 2 years or so. 1. To view a VRML file: import the cortona plugin into p/point. The plugin can...
Hey, everyone. I am reconstructing immunolabelled spines and PSDs, but I can't figure out how to place icons on the immunogold particles and NOT have ...
Hi Dan, Here is what I do. - Go to Serie/Serie Option/3D => choose Boissonnat surface - Go to Object / List Objects => select the PSD and spine - Go to Scene /...
Thanks, Thomas and Rick. I am pursuing Thomas's solution, and it works well. The only problem is that multiple particles on single sections are considered one...
I think I figured it out. When you place objects with the stamp tool onto the particles, you need to delete the $ from the name in the trace attributes. Thanks...
Dan - Thomas's solution works fine in Reconstruct - you can set the sphere size (under series options 3D0 to any size you want (default is in microns), and ...
To the reconstruct users group. I have made a big reconstruction from cortex, but do not know how to implement a scale bar in my 3D pictures.. According to...
Go into the Series, options, 3D, and set your 3D object to a cube (or line or sphere or what ever you want)… Then set the dimensions in microns at the...
To the Reconstruct Users Group. I have seen some of you present your reconstructions as a movie in powerpoint. Could I ask how you do it? What type of file do...
Dear Thomas, Â You should put in the 3D image a rotation during visualization, then at different time steps you should save an image (as jpg for example)....
Hi Thomas and other reconstruct users: You can export a .wrl from Reconstruct, then you can rotate it in another free .vrml viewer (like Corona) - I also use...
Thank you very much Kristen and Demain. Your expert opinion is very much appreciated. I will try this out during an upcoming conference. Best regards Thomas ...
Dear all, I'm searching for a method to label the reconstructions I made. Of course I can label the pictures I take from the 3D's in Photoshop or other...
