Hello, I am very new to ShapeWorks and made my first Statistical Shape Model with ShapeWorks studio. I would like to have an expert opinion on my model. Could somebody help me and look at my model perhaps? Kind regards, Anouk ---

Hi Anouk, Could you share snapshots of the model? or the particles files? @amorris Regards Shireen ---

This seems to be a thin structure. I would enable surface normals during optimization. What you are seeing are particles that have bad correspondence across samples because they have lied on different sides of the surface. using surface normals during optimization should penalize this behavior.

Hi, Do you think you could post a some pictures from the original shapes? Maybe the 4x4 view of the groomed shapes with particles? Thanks, Alan
