Marker names appear in the Entity list on the Entity Attributes panel.
FullTrace displays the traced path without animating the model. The model must be animated for TraceBySteps and TraceLast to display the path of motion.
Colors are numbered from left to right, top to bottom starting with 0.
If a marker references a material, a material name must be specified instead of a color number.
