 It sometimes happens that mistakes are made in the labeling of your markers, either through operator error of the motion capture system's difficulty recognizing markers throughout a trial. These mistakes must be fixed in order to ensure high quality data. This is the first step towards producing useful follow-on analysis. It sometimes happens that mistakes are made in the labeling of your markers, either through operator error of the motion capture system's difficulty recognizing markers throughout a trial.

-Our recommendation is that mistakes like these should be corrected as close to the actual data collection as possible. Ideally you will do this in the motion capture software provided by your vendor of choice, as this gives you the best chance to recognize mistakes and to apply the correct fix. If that is not possible, or anything is missed during data collection, then you can fix these mistakes in Visual3D. This tutorial explains how to do exactly this, using the specific example where the **RTH1** and **RTH2** markers have had their labels switched, i.e., the **RTH1** marker is labelled as **RTH2** and vice versa. As this is a reasonably straight forward process in Visual3D, no example files are provided for you to work through. This process can be tested on any of your files containing marker-based data, for example by purposefully mislabelling two [[visual3d:documentation:c3d_signal_types:target_data_type||TARGETs]] and then fixing them.+Our recommendation is that mistakes like these should be corrected as close to the actual data collection as possible.
