-This example specifies segment properties from pipeline commands. For a variety of legacy reasons, Visual3D does not allow users to specify the segment depth as an expression. This limitation means that the command [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Model_Commands:Modeling_Commands#Set_Model_Metric|Set_Model_Metric]] cannot be used for segment depth.
+====== Segment Properties Examples ======
-Prompted by a customer that wanted to use a pipeline command to modify segment depth we documented this in several pipeline examples.
+This example demonstrates how [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_overview|segment]] properties can be specified using pipeline commands. For a variety of legacy reasons, Visual3D does not allow users to specify the segment depth as an expression which means that the command [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Model_Commands:Modeling_Commands#Set_Model_Metric|Set_Model_Metric]] cannot be used for segment depth.
-**NOTE:** As of Visual3Dv5.01.20, user's are able to enter equations into the depth measurements for the Pelvis and Thorax.

+===== Example 1: Specifying segment properties from a value =====

-Create a metric to compute the depth as the distance between two markers/landmarks. This example is for the Pelvis and assumes that the Pelvis segment has ben constructed. In addition, the landmark **MID_ASIS** has been created.

-This example is for the Thorax and assumes that the Thorax segment has ben constructed. Since Visual3D does not allow users to specify the segment depth as an expression, a user could construct the Thorax segment with a "dummy" depth number (0.12) and use the pipeline below to calculate a depth value based on targets/landmarks on the segment.
