An object preset is a set of object-specific properties that enables you to control the amount of filtering performed on a given object. This can help to reduce any jitter or systematic noise in an object, particularly if a marker on the object becomes occluded. It can also help ensure that objects are properly recognized. For information on using an object preset to ensure Tracker recognizes differences between similar objects, see also [Resolve object similarity](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker43/pages/344556952/Understand+object+evaluation#Understandobjectevaluation-ResolveObjectSimilarity).

**To create an object preset:**

1. In the **Objects** list in the **Tracking** panel, ensure that the object to which you want to apply the preset is selected.
2. In the object's **Properties** below, ensure the advanced parameters are displayed > Macro (inline-media-image)

.
3. Depending on whether you want to use an existing object preset for this object, do one of the following:
  - If you want to use an existing object preset, in the **Object Preset** list, select the required preset.   
or
  - If the required object preset does not exist, to the right of the Object Preset list, click **Manage** and in the **Object Presets** dialog box, enter a name in the **Create New Preset** field and then click **Add**.
4. In the **Object Presets** list at the top of the dialog box, select the new preset, then change the properties as required.
  For information on object tracking and the Entrance Threshold, see [Why is the Entrance Threshold important?](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker43/pages/344556952/Understand+object+evaluation#Understandobjectevaluation-EntranceThresholdDefinition)
  The following steps describe how to set the smoothing properties for translation and rotation.
5. To use 1-Euro filtering for the selected object, select **Filtering Enabled**.
  For detailed information on the 1-Euro filter and how to adjust these settings, visit [www.lifl.fr/~casiez/1euro/](http://www.lifl.fr/~casiez/1euro/).
6. With **Translation Beta** set to its default value, change the value of **Translation Min Cut-Off** to eliminate jitter during very slow movements.  
Note that decreasing the value of Translation Min Cut-Off reduces jitter but increases lag.
7. When you have finished adjusting the Translation Min Cut-Off value, increase the value of **Translation Beta** by very small increments to eliminate lag during faster movement.
  Note that 0 = filtering on all translation motion; 1 = filtering on very slow translation motion only.
  Follow the same procedure for adjusting the **Rotation Min Cut-Off** and **Rotation Beta**.
8. If you want Tracker to detect the object as static, select **Motion Model**.
9. When you have finished adjusting the properties, click **Close**.
10. In the Tracking panel, make sure that in the **Object Preset** list, the required preset is selected.

After you have set up the object’s preset, you can then add a mesh to the object. A mesh is a 3D model with a root bone that has its own coordinate system. Adding a mesh to an object helps you to visualize it better in the Workspace. For more information, see [Add a mesh to an object](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker43/pages/344556847).
