AnatomyPlot3D
AnatomyPlot3D[primitives,options]
represents a three-dimensional graphical image that works with anatomical entities as well as standard 3D graphics primitives and directives.
Details and Options
- Using AnatomyPlot3D requires internet connectivity.
- AnatomyPlot3D allows standalone anatomical entities to represent annotated 3D primitives, substituting the "Graphics3D" property of the entity.
- Entities that appear inside of primitives act as coordinate specifiers, substituting the "RegionCentroid" of the entity.
- AnatomyPlot3D is displayed in StandardForm as a graphical image.
- PlotRange can be specified using anatomical entities, substituting the "RegionBounds" of the entity.
- Coordinate values of the human and animal anatomical entities correspond to an average adult human male and average adult animal, respectively, measured in millimeters.
- AnatomyPlot3D uses the same directives as Graphics3D, with the following addition:
-
AnatomyStyling[directives] anatomical entities are to be drawn using the specified graphics directives - AnatomyPlot3D has the same options as Graphics3D, with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]

Coloring and Styling (3)
You can color all entities one style:
The following example shows that “intermediate” structures like biceps brachii can be handled, even though they are made of smaller atomic components:
The following example shows that you can also style the lower-level atomic structures separately:
The following example shows that you can color all objects one color, with the exception of muscles (or any other entity), which are a different color:
With no arguments, AnatomyStyling behaves like FaceForm[]:
AnatomyStyling["Natural"] restores styles to their original state, ignoring earlier directives:

Axes (3)
By default, Axes is not drawn for AnatomyPlot3D:

AxesStyle (4)
Method (3)
Tooltips are enabled by default, but they can be disabled by using "Tooltips":
Tooltips are disabled by default for some PlotTheme settings, but they can be enabled using "Tooltips":
By default, some structures may have white space around them:
White space around these 3D structures can be minimized using "ShrinkWrap":
Drawing the same structure twice can result in rendering problems, causing styles to be ignored and other side effects:
"RelieveDPZFighting" can often be used to partially avoid these problems:
PlotRange (1)
Restrict the PlotRange to a specific entity with a padding of 50 mm:
PlotTheme (2)
Classic textbook illustration:
Identify subparts by tooltip and individual color:
Illustrate with flat shading and minimal detail:
Historical sepia-toned illustration:
Transparent appearance with emphasis on the bones similar to an x‐ray:
Highlight bones by combining the default bone color with the transparent theme:
SphericalRegion (1)
By default, the rendered scene is centered at the center of the bounding box:
SphericalRegion can be used to recenter the scene around a specific scene element and constrain the view to the element's bounding sphere:
Ticks (4)
Applications (1)
Properties & Relations (1)
The models used with AnatomyPlot3D are the same ones obtained from the "Graphics3D" property used in EntityValue:
The structure of the models includes an Annotation for each subpart that can be useful for labeling and other reference keeping:
Possible Issues (1)
Drawing the same structure twice can result in rendering problems, causing styles to be ignored and other side effects:
"RelieveDPZFighting" can often be used to partially avoid these problems:
Although a better solution is not to draw the same structure twice, but modify the styles in place using AnatomyStyling:
Neat Examples (4)
Use Overlay to place anatomical structures over a skin silhouette:
Control Opacity when locating subparts within a transparent structure:
Apply Rotate to anatomical structures:
Apply ClipPlanes to specific objects in the scene:
