To extract pose data from a set of markers, you create an object in Tracker.


    **To create an object:**


1. Place the object with markers attached in the volume.
  :check_mark: **Tip**: If you don't see anything in the 3D View, ensure that these options are selected:
  - In the **View Filters**, ensure **Unlabeled Markers** is selected.
  - In the **Processing** panel, ensure that **Enable Unlabeled Reconstructions** is selected.
  Both of these settings are selected in the Default system file.
2. Select at least four (five or more is recommended) unassigned marker trajectories by doing one of the following:
  - To select markers individually, press and hold the CTRL key while you click on each marker.
  - To select a group of markers, press and hold the ALT key while you drag around the markers to form a box around them.
3. In the **Tracking** panel, in the **Object** field, specify a unique name and click **Create**. (If you forget this step, see [Manage objects](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker44/pages/376309124) to learn how to rename an object after it has been created.)
  A new object is created with labeled markers and sticks.
  The origin of the object is the mean point of all markers. If necessary, you can change this later (see [Change an object's origin](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker44/pages/376309079)).
  The orientation of the object is aligned to the orientation of the global coordinate system on the frame it was created. If necessary, you can change this later (see [Changing an object's alignment](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker44/pages/376309103)).
  :check_mark: **Tip**: If you enter review mode (ie, pause the live data) to create your object, a warning is displayed in the Workspace > Macro (inline-media-image)

. To see the current pose of the newly created object, you must exit review mode. Although you can create multiple objects while paused, you cannot see the markers, sticks or local coordinate system for the object(s) until you exit review mode.  
In the **Tracking** panel, the newly created object is displayed in the Objects list.
  :check_mark: **Tip**: If your new object has a warning symbol (yellow triangle) next to it, to view information about the issue, hover the mouse pointer over the symbol. For more information, see [Understand object evaluation](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker44/pages/376309172).

After you have created an object, you can then add markers to it. For more information, see [Add or remove a marker on an object](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker44/pages/376309055).
