 | Segment Name | Every segment has a name. See Visual3D's [[Visual3D:Documentation:Modeling:Segments:Segment_Default_Names|default segment names]]. |

"Kinematic-only" segments are also called [[virtual segments|visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:virtual_segments|virtual segments]]. |

 ===== Animation Properties =====
-A surface mesh can be associated with each segment as an [[Visual3D:Documentation:Modeling:Segments:Animation_Surface_Models|Animation Surface Model]]. This surface mesh should be stored as a [[Visual3D:Documentation:Modeling:Segments:Wavefront_obj_file_format|Wavefront .obj file]], [[Visual3D:Documentation:Modeling:Segments:Transforming_an_obj_file|transformed]] as necessary to align with the segment's coordinate system.
