You can also try the markup tool in 3D Slicer (http://download.slicer.org) to collect landmarks. While it doesn't have the extensive mesh editing capabilities of MeshLab, it does have a pretty decent UI for annotation and measurements.
It only read stl/ply AFAIK.

For 3D surface models, I suggest IDAV Landmark Editor (http://graphics.idav.ucdavis.edu/research/EvoMorph) or the commercial version Checkpoint that Dennis mentioned below. Meshlab's pick points function works. Also digit.fixed() function in geomorph R package depending on the specimens. If you have lots of specimens, IDAV LE has an semiautomated placement system that is still the best IMO.

I have tried for years to get a scicomp student interested in writing such a module, but to no avail. I have written several digitizing programs over the decades - providing graphical feedback and interfacing to digitizing hardware, but cannot find the time to do this myself. I don't need to collect data that often but for 2D data, I use tpsDig by Rohlf. For 3D data from meshes, I use Meshlab. That has worked sufficiently in the past, but not always as advertised on the Mac. Others have used Landmark Editor. I think the old version is free, but unsupported, while the new version Stratovan Checkpoint may be a commercial offering - https://www.stratovan.com/blog/landmark-editor Others can chime in with their favorite data collection modality. -ds On Thursday, December 15, 2016 at 11:00:02 AM UTC-5, Gabriel Wrobel wrote: I am just beginning to work with morphometrics and have a pretty simple (I assume) question. I have built several 3D models of crania and mandibles using photogrammetry and planned to use these to plot landmark points (rather than using a microscribe) suing Morpheus. But, I can't figure out how to place the landmark points on the model. I was unable to find (recognize) this information in the user's guide. What I would love, in fact, is a very general explanation of how to get started building a database. The user's guide seems to start with the analyses, and assumes a basic level of familiarity that I sadly don't have. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!
