 The project created from this will start automatically in the QSM layout providing the QSM inspector and the Node toolbar 3d. Yet this project has not RGG runtime and can therefore not execute any code, it is purely usable through GUI interaction.

 ===== Shift to parent =====
+{{ :tutorials:qsm:shift_parent.gif?direct|}}
+Either based on the reconstruction process or the previous changes, QSMs are likely to have gaps between the parent and the child shoot. The GroIMP QSM plugin provides a simple shifting approach to move a shoot closer to its parent.
+As shown in the gif,this can be applied in different configurations:
+{{:tutorials:qsm:jumpend.png?direct&18|}} : move child to the end of the parent shoot.
+{{:tutorials:qsm:jumpaxis.png?direct&18|}} : move child to the closest point on the axis of the parent shoot.
+{{:tutorials:qsm:jumpstart.png?direct&18|}} : move child to the start of the parent shoot.
+{{:tutorials:qsm:jumpmiddel.png?direct&18|}} : move child to the middle of the parent shoot.
+==== Tree wide ====
+{{:tutorials:qsm:shift_all.gif?direct|}}
+All four of this approaches can also be applied tree wide (on all shoots at the same time).
+This should be done with caution because it can change the shape of the data quite intensely.
+The function can be found in the main menu 'Edit > QSM > shift all > ...', in the example in the gif the fit to axis version is used.
+===== Export =====
+{{:tutorials:qsm:export.gif?direct|}}
+To export the processed QSM for further usage, the export function in the menu of the 3d view is used: 'View > Export > complete scene'.
+This allows to export to a qsm file that can be processed using e.g. the [[https://github.com/aidanmorales/rTwig | rtwig]] library.  Moreover it would also be possible to export to a range of other formats supported by GroIMP.
