Description

The VO View command enables you to set several 3D viewing parameters for a 3D window. These parameters are typically controlled from the View From Position and View To Direction dialog.

After setting the parameters for the view, send the VO ViewFromTo command with the Reset option to update the 3D Graphics window. (e.g. VO * ViewFromTo Reset)

VO View FromTo

The following tables describe the parameters and values used to define a view using the FromTo option.

To set additional views use the VO ViewFromTo command. To create views using Vectors use the VO ViewAlongDirection command.

Use {FromToOption} when the name of the view from direction or object and the view to direction or object are the same. The FromToRegName and FromToName parameters are required.

Use {FromOption} to define the view from direction or object. The FromRegName and FromName parameters are required.

Use {ToOption} to define the view to direction or object. The ToRegName and ToName parameters are required.

The following table further describes the "<RegisteredName>", "<ViewName>" and "<CallDataValue>" values, used to define a view.

To set additional views, including those using Axes and Vectors, use the VO ViewFromTo command.

Specifying a Component

Use this format to specify a Vector Geometry Tool Component. The syntax is:

"<TruncObjectPath> <Name> <Type>"

Where <TruncObjectPath> is a truncated object path or central body path for the component; <Name> is the component name, and <Type> is the component type, for example Point, Axes or System.

Deprecated Options

The following "<RegisteredName>" values have been replaced in STK 9.

Examples

To orient the view in the first 3D window to look down towards the central body:

To orient the view in the second 3D window to look north:

To increase the mouse rotation speed for coarser viewpoint control in the first 3D window:

To decrease the mouse rotation speed for finer viewpoint control in the first 3D window:

To zoom out 0.5 times the central body reference radius:

To allow unconstrained view rotation:

To set the up axis to -Z and orient the view from that axis:

To enable rotation in the second 3D window:

Examples

To select the untethered mode with the initial attitude set to origin and the view direction aligned with the system's origin:

To select the untethered mode with the initial attitude set to origin and with the view direction aligned with the system's origin turned off:

To orient the view in the first 3D window so that you can view and rotate around Satellite1:

To orient the view, using the From/To viewing mode, so that you are looking from Satellite1 (the view from object) towards Earth (the view to direction):

In order to set the view for an MTO object, please note that stk just views the MTO object's computational track, so set the compute track first, then set the view options:

To view from Facility1 Center Point to Earth:

Set the view fromto to the specified Lat, Lon, Alt coordinates:

Examples

In Untethered mode add and then remove a reference frame:

In FromTo mode add a reference frame to the Satellite class:

In FromTo mode set the reference frame for the current view:

In FromTo mode remove a reference frame from the Satellite class:

In FromTo mode add a reference frame for the CentralBody:

To change the view reference frame in the first 3D window to the next view reference frame in the list:

To change the view reference frame in the third 3D window to the next view reference frame in the list:

Examples

To change the zoom speed:
