If it makes sense for your situation, Morpheus et al. can import truss measurements and convert them to 2- or 3D coordinates using the algorithm described by Carpenter et al. in the White Book. I have seen it do an impressive job on Caiman skull data and a miserable one on some inter-tree (of the plant variety) measurements. Of course, the tree distances were not collected with this type of thing in mind, while the skull data were originally collected for morphometric analysis.
