Hi,

I'm using the segmentation plugin of vaa3d to generate segments of neuronal boutons, and what to measure the distance between them and the neuron trace. The neuron trace file is a swc file and I can load the coordinates into Matlab, but the surface mesh of the segments file is a vaa3d file. How can I export the coordinates of segment mesh so that I can do the calculation in Matlab?

Hi Chang!

You can try to save the surface mesh in Vaa3D as .obj file instead of .vaa3d file, the obj file is a text format for surface mesh.
