Change the branch ordering scheme

The default branch order is centrifugal but you have the option to use shaft ordering instead.

From centrifugal to shaft ordering

1. Click Trace>Edit>Select objects and click a branch to select it.
2. Right-click away from the branch and select Assign alternate branch order. Shaft ordering is applied and color by branch order is temporarily turned on: the primary branch (shaft) is a single color.
3. Click a node to start defining the shaft. The shaft is shown in the same color as the initial segment.
4. Continue clicking nodes as needed.
5. When satisfied with the shaft, right-click and select Finish.

 

To discard the changes, right-click and select Restore Settings.

 

The changes are not visible in the branch order displayed in Neurolucida, but they can be viewed in Neurolucida Explorer and will be used for the analyses.
