Body Metrics List

The body metrics list controls which body-position columns appear in the ephemeris table. Checking a metric adds its column; unchecking removes it. The list is labeled Metrics on standard studies. On aspect studies it is labeled Body Metrics and appears on the Body & Aspect Metrics tab.
