+====== Fun With Graphics ======
+Visual3D can read OBJ files. The OBJ file format is a standard graphics object and there are many free OBJ files available on the internet.
+===== A little fun with the Graphics =====
+It is possible to replace the ”bones” with another bone or object file. As a ridiculous example, you can change the pelvis model to display a skull rather than the pelvis bones.
+  - Click on the **Browse** button beside the **Model File** edit box.
+  - Open the //head.v3g// file.
+  - Click **Apply.** A 3D image of a head will appear in place of the pelvis.
+**Note:** For older versions of the software this will be //head.obj.// Visual 3D accepts either file format.
+The head will appear upside down because the default segment coordinate system for the head is defined with the top of the head as the distal segment. To re-orient the bone:
+  - Click on the **Rotate/Scale Graphic Model** button
+  - Set the **Horizontal Rotation** to //180//
+  - Click **OK** to accept the new rotation value and close the window.
+{{:tutorial1_13.jpg}}
+To restore the pelvis image before proceeding:
+  - Change **Model File** back to //pelvis.v3g//
+  - Click **Rotate/Scale Graphic Model**
+  - Click **Reset**
+  - Click **OK**
+===== Finding your Graphics Folder =====
+When Visual3D installs, it loads a series of v3g files onto your computer. If you want to add graphics objects to this folder, you will need to store the graphics files in this folder.
+To find the models folder:
+  - Go to **Edit -> Program Options**
+    - You should be in the **Default Folders** tab of the **Visual3D Program Options** dialog
+    - **Segment Graphics Folder** is where Visual3D is looking for the graphics objects
+**NOTE:** You can change this folder to a different location if needed.
