Description

Provides access to the properties and methods used in defining a place object.

Public Methods

GetAzElMask	Method to get the az-el mask. A member of the AgEAzElMaskType enumeration.
GetAzElMaskData	Method to get az-el mask data.
ResetAzElMask	Method to reset the az-el mask.
SetAzElMask	Method to set an az-el mask. A member of the AgEAzElMaskType enumeration.

Public Properties

AccessConstraints	Get the constraints imposed on the place.
AltRef	The altitude reference of the object.
Atmosphere	This property is deprecated. The new RFEnvironment property can be used to configure atmospheric models.
Graphics	Get the 2D Graphics properties of the place.
HeightAboveGround	Height of place above its model of the ground. Height is measured along the normal to surface defined by reference ellipsoid of the central body. Place models the ground as an ellipsoid passing through the ground position. Uses Distance Dimension.
LaserEnvironment	Gets the laser environment.
LightingMaxStep	The maximum step size to use when computing lighting. Only applies (and only can be set) when LightingObstructionModel is eLightingObstructionAzElMask or eLightingObstructionTerrain. Uses Time Dimension.
LightingObstructionModel	The obstruction model used in lighting computations.
LocalTimeOffset	The amount of the time offset from GMT, if this option is used. Uses Time Dimension.
MaxRangeWhenComputingAzElMask	The maximum range to use when computing the az el mask using terrain data. Zero indicates to use algorithm default. Only applies when GetAzElMask returns eTerrainData (cannot be set if eMaskFile). Uses Distance Dimension.
Position	Get the position of the place.
RadarClutterMap	Returns the radar clutter map.
RadarCrossSection	Returns the radar cross sectoin.
RFEnvironment	Gets the RF environment.
SaveTerrainMaskDataInBinary	Save terrain az-el mask data in binary.
TerrainNorm	The method for determining the normal to the local terrain.
TerrainNormData	Data used in specifying terrain slope.
UseLocalTimeOffset	Opt whether to use a local time offset from GMT.
UseTerrain	Opt whether to set altitude automatically by using terrain data.
VO	Get the 3D Graphics properties of the place.

Example

Create a place (on current scenario central body)

[C#]

// Create a place on current scenario central body
IAgPlace place = root.CurrentScenario.Children.New(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "MyPlace") as IAgPlace;

Create a place on Earth at lat/lon/alt

[C#]

IAgPlace place = root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "MyPlace", "Earth") as IAgPlace;

// Assuming unit preferences are set to radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance
place.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(0.4506, -1.4011, 4);

Create a place on specified central body at lat/lon/alt

[C#]

IAgPlace placeObject = root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "Place1", "Mars") as IAgPlace;

// Assuming unit preferences are set to radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance
placeObject.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(-5.4245, 0.1902, 0);

Create a place from facility database

[C#]

// Get STK database location using Connect
IAgExecCmdResult result = root.ExecuteCommand("GetDirectory / Database Facility");
string facDataDir = result[0];
string filelocation = Path.Combine(facDataDir, "stkFacility.fd");

// Import object from database using Connect
string command = "ImportFromDB * Facility \"" + filelocation + "\" Class Place SiteName Weilheim";
root.ExecuteCommand(command);

IAgPlace place = root.GetObjectFromPath("Place/Weilheim") as IAgPlace;

Create a place (on current scenario central body)

[Visual Basic .NET]

' Create a place on current scenario central body
Dim place As IAgPlace = TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.[New](AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "MyPlace"), IAgPlace)

Create a place on Earth at lat/lon/alt

[Visual Basic .NET]

Dim place As IAgPlace = TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "MyPlace", "Earth"), IAgPlace)

' Assuming unit preferences are set to radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance
place.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(0.4506, -1.4011, 4)

Create a place on specified central body at lat/lon/alt

[Visual Basic .NET]

Dim placeObject As IAgPlace = TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "Place1", "Mars"), IAgPlace)

' Assuming unit preferences are set to radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance
placeObject.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(-5.4245, 0.1902, 0)

Create a place from facility database

[Visual Basic .NET]

' Get STK database location using Connect
Dim result As IAgExecCmdResult = root.ExecuteCommand("GetDirectory / Database Facility")
Dim facDataDir As String = result(0)
Dim filelocation As String = Path.Combine(facDataDir, "stkFacility.fd")

' Import object from database using Connect
Dim command As String = "ImportFromDB * Facility """ + filelocation + """ Class Place SiteName Weilheim"
root.ExecuteCommand(command)

Dim place As IAgPlace = TryCast(root.GetObjectFromPath("Place/Weilheim"), IAgPlace)
