‌Spinal Align Mode

In Align mode, your path is moved around as the coordinate system is repeatedly updated, but the shape of the path and the relationship to the trackers is not affected.

The RMS error of the solve is unchanged. This can be a nice way to help get that

specific coordinate system alignment you want; it allows a mixture of object and tracker constraints.

You can use a combination of locks on the camera and on trackers in the scene.

As you drag the camera or tracker, the alignment will be repeatedly recalculated. Use the figure of merit value to keep track of whether you have an overconstrained setup: the value is normally very small, such as 0.000002. If it rises much above that, you don’t have a minimal set of constraints (typically it reaches 0.020–0.050). That is not a problem—unless you begin solving with the Constrain checkbox on.

Note that all camera and object locks are treated as hard locks by the alignment software.
