3D Graphics Properties for STK Objects - Model Pointing

Use to point parts of a facility, place, target, or vehicle model toward a target, such as the Sun or Earth.

Model Pointing options are only available if you specified a model that includes the Pointing parameter.

Pointable Elements

Pointing Name. Lists all the movable elements associated with a pointing parameter.

Assigned Target Object. Displays the target for the pointable element. The default target is None, except for satellites that have solar panels that are set up for sun pointing.

If you set solar arrays to None for the Assigned Target Object, you must also disable the Default solar panels to point at Sun option on the Model Articulations window.

Available Targets

List of objects at which the selected element can point. Select an available target to assign it to the selected pointable element. The Assigned Target Name column updates to include the selected target.

To define intervals for the selected element, select Intervals from the Available Target list and click Interval List.

To point the selected element towards you, the STK user, select Viewer from the Available Targets list.

Interval List... button. Select Intervals from the Available Targets List and click this button to define intervals during which an object model part points towards selected targets.
