Description

The VO command using the Model {VOOption} enables you to specify a certain model to be used to represent an object in the current scenario, or to turn off the display of a model. You can also use this command to define the default color of the model.

{Option}<Value>Description
Show{On | Off}Turns the display of the model on or off. The default setting for vehicles and facilities is On, but for MTO tracks the default is Off.
File"<ModelFile>" [Use ModelFile]Specifies the model file to be used to represent the object. If the Show option is set to Off, entering this option will set it to On. Supported model file types are:
  • glTF model (.glb)
  • MDL model (.mdl)
  • COLLADA model (.dae)

If you wish to immediately use the specified model file, include the Use ModelFile keywords in the command line.

"<ModelFile>" can be the path to a file on your local drive or the path to a file on an SDF server. See Specifying Paths for "<SDFFilePath>" syntax information.

Color{Normal | DefaultFromMarker}Sets the default color of the model. The Normal value is the default setting and sets the default color to white. If you set this option to DefaultFromMarker, then the default color is the same as the marker color. Note: This option will only affect colorless models.
Use{ModelFile | ModelList | CatalogModel}Indicate the source of the model being displayed. The default value, for Facilities, Targets and most Vehicles, is ModelFile.

If the object is a MissionModeler Aircraft, the default value is CatalogModel. The CatalogModel option is only valid for an Aircraft that is using the MissionModeler propagator.

Use the VO ModelList command to set up a Model List.

Setting this option to ModelList or CatalogModel will set the current model file to the model specified by the ModelList or CatalogModel. To display a different Model File you must reenter the VO Model File command with the Use ModelFile option.

IgnoreBoundRadius{On | Off}Ignore or use the bound radius when rendering models. If you enter On, the model will be rendered based on LOD. The default is Off.

VO */Satellite/ERS1 Model File "C:\STKInstall\STKData\VO\Models\Space\ers.glb"

To set the model being used for Satellite1 to not show:

VO */Satellite/Satellite1 Model Show Off

To set the default model color to be the same as the marker color for Facility1 in the current scenario:

VO */Facility/Facility1 Model Color DefaultFromMarker
