VO <VehObjectPath> EphemDropLines Type {WGS84 | Terrain | MSL} {DropLineOption} <Value> [{DropLineOption} <Value>...]

The VO EphemDropLines command allows the user to display and set attributes for the vehicle orbit drop lines.

If Type is MSL, the line will drop from the vehicle to mean sea level.
If Type is Terrain, the line will drop from the vehicle to terrain.
If Type is WGS84, the line will drop from the vehicle to the central body's reference ellipsoid.

At least one of the following {DropLineOption} must also be included on the command line.

{DropLineOption} <Value>	Description
