Model Transformations

Transformations statically define the position and orientation of a component or primitive, such as the location of an antenna on the body of a satellite.

Transformations do not change the way an STK object is defined or affect access or other calculations between objects being modeled. They can be used effectively to visually resolve anomalies or to provide realistic motion in the models for animation.

Apply transformations to:

Orient a component or primitive in 3D space
Position and orient a texture on a primitive

The best way to understand how transformations work is to experiment with them using the Model Development Environment.
