You just need to select the landmarks you're interested in. PAST can open TPS files and also MorphoJ raw coordinate txt files as long as the name of the first column is changed from ID to something else (e.g., OBSERVATIONS, RAW_NAMES etc.). Good luck.

I would like to make a question if anyone can help me. I want to calculate lineal distances between landmarks that belongs to a 3D matrice. I'm working with the software MorphoJ, but there isn't any option to do it and I don't know what program is better to do it considering my data matrix (prepared to work with MorphoJ).
