Description
Provides access to the properties and methods used in defining a place object.
Public Methods
Public Properties
 AccessConstraints | Get the constraints imposed on the place. |
| AltRef | Gets or sets 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 | Gets or sets 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 | Gets or sets 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 | Gets or sets 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 | Get 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. |

CoClasses that Implement IAgPlace
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)
|
|

| [Visual Basic .NET] |
|---|
