Description
Use the VO ElevContours command to turn on and off the display of elevation angle contours in the 3D window. Contour levels represent the various regions of the surface that can see an object at the specified elevation angle. To actually set the contours that display in the 3D window, use the Graphics ElevContours command.
Elevation Contours are not valid for ground based vehicles, this command will Nack if entered for GroundVehicle or Ship.

| ShowFill {On | Off} | If On is entered then display the elevation angle contours as a filled polygon on the surface of the central body. |
| ConeTranslucency <Value> | <Value> is a percent value between 0 and 100, where 0 is totally opaque and 100 percent is completely invisible. |
| FillTranslucency <Value> | <Value> is a percent value between 0 and 100, where 0 is totally opaque and 100 percent is completely invisible. |
