Patching Trackables in BTWYSIWYG
Patching Trackables Introduction
Important Note: As of BlackTrax v2.2, the Quick Motion Patch Tool is no longer required to patch
Trackables because Trackables are automatically named and patched when inserted.
Trackables that are created need to be patched to a Motion Universe. The patch allows the visualization
of Trackable movement in BlackTrax. This section shows how to easily patch Trackables using the Quick
Motion Patch Tool, as well as the manual way to patch each Trackable.
Note: Read the WYSIWYG Reference Guide’s chapter on Data mode for a complete understanding of
patching manually assigned Trackables.
