- Inspect the selected muscle. Select pectineus from the structure list and use Isolate, then Focus selection. Switch to Oblique and rotate to inspect its surface.
- Compare the inner thigh. Open the other guide on the same side, or choose a muscle from the structure list. Use Show context to restore the regional assembly. Left medial thigh guides →
- Restore whole-leg context. The whole-leg study includes the tibia. Other muscles, nerves, vessels and separate fascia remain incomplete. Left whole leg in 3D →
