{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/extension-section|Extension Description}}
This extension is a collection of different modules that will enable the user to quantify shape differences between two models and/or compute shape statistics in a model .<br>

ShapeQuantifier includes preprocessing tools, allowing the user to edit the models by cropping them ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/EasyClip|EasyClip]]) and/or making registration between models([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/SurfaceRegistration|SurfaceRegistration]]).<br>
The user will have the choice to compute distances between points ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/Q3DC|Q3DC]]) or angles between lines ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/Q3DC|Q3DC]]) or planes ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/AnglePlanes|AnglePlanes]]).<br>
He will be able to create distance maps ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Extensions/ModelToModelDistance|ModelToModelDistance]]) to either display them as color maps ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Extensions/ShapePopulationViewer|ShapePopulationViewer]]) or compute statistics ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/MeshStatistics | MeshStatistics]]) on the entire model or just a region of interest ([[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/PickAndPaint|PickAndPaint]]).<br>

All those modules will be available to use by themselves or all at once by using [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/ShapeQuantifier|ShapeQuantifier]] that will guide the user through the different steps.<br>
