I would like these to be somewhat uniform in regards to eye height and size.

Maybe it's even possible to sub-file and reuse some assets?

EDIT:
I might have overlooked something, but are there any headpieces which must match certain areas of the face?

but how do i use it
enter is to close the program then how do i enter in a command?

and when i try to correct and export it it ends up corrupted and i try to import it using obj2dat and it ends up many missing polygons

Here the 3 green will be exported well, but the red one will be out of position.

However: If you need to cross one of these lines do the following to slice a triangle along these lines, do this only TEMPORARILY
-> Go to FILES -> METADATA AND PROCESSING
-> Select the SLICERPRO.EXE check.box
-> Click OK

When you now export the surface will be cut along the guideing lines and the resulting triangles iwll be projected onto the template:


This looks faily nice in this example, but it might require some clean up afterwards to reduce extra vertices.

Therefore you can draw closely to the guiding lines, select the vertex and press CTRL-T to snap the vertex to the guiding line

REMEMBER to disable SlicerPro again
