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.
