## Plug-in Gait and the Oxford Foot Model

If you are new to modeling with Nexus, the Plug-in Gait model provides a good introduction: all the operations necessary to run the model are supplied with Nexus. This option is described in this guide. For details, see:

> Macro (children)

   
In addition, a [Vicon Nexus 2 tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl7CWDmIaHw&list=PLxtdgDam3USUSIeuO6UloG3ogPsFNtEJS&index=7), *PlugIn Gait AI: Marker Locations and Subject Measurements*, is available on YouTube.

> ✅ As the videos were recorded using an earlier version of Nexus 2, you may notice small differences in the user interface.

## MATLAB

If you are familiar with MATLAB, you can use the supplied examples to create your own custom models. For more information, see [Modeling with MATLAB](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus216/pages/11602350) in the *Vicon Nexus Reference Guide*.

## Python

If you are familiar with Python, you can use the supplied examples to create your own custom models. For more information, see [Modeling with Python](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus216/pages/11602196) in the *Vicon Nexus Reference Guide.*

> ℹ️ **Note**   
> ℹ️ For simplicity, modeling operations are described as separate steps. However, if you want to run modeling operations automatically, you can add them (and any other operations required) to a post-capture pipeline that runs as soon as capture finishes. For more information see step 7 in [Capture the required movement](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Nexus216/pages/11610129).
