To create a project using the Thin Plate Spline math model

  1. On the File menu, click New.
  2. In the Project Information window, type a file name for your project in the Filename box.

    This will be the file name of your project after you click OK.

  3. In the Name box, type a name for the project.

    The name you enter will appear on the title bar of the OrthoEngine window
