VO AzElMaskTool
Generate static body masking files (.bmsk), which are used to restrict visibility to a sensor.
Syntax
VO <SensorObjectPath> AzElMaskTool {AzElOption}
Description
The VO AzElMaskTool command enables you to generate static body masking files (.bmsk), which are used to restrict visibility to a sensor. The term body masking refers to line-of-sight obstruction caused by the three-dimensional model of the parent object of the sensor or other objects in the scenario.
| {AzElOption} | Description |
|---|---|
| Time {TimeValue} | Specify the animation time at which STK should generate the mask. For valid {TimeValue} values, see Time Options. |
| Object {On | Off} <TruncObjectPath> | Select, or deselect, obscuring objects. |
| File "<Filepath\Filename.bmsk>" | Enter the name of the body mask output file (.bmsk).
"<Filepath\Filename.bmsk>" is the path to a file on your local drive. |
| WindowDim <Value> | Enter the height and width, in pixels, of the window used to generate the body mask. Valid values are 1 to 32000. |
| Compute [CBObscure {On | Off}] | Have STK compute the AzEl Mask. You can also select to use the Central Body as an obscuring object. |
| DontRenderNormalWindows {On | Off} | When set to On, normal 3D Graphics windows will not render when computing the AzEl Mask. This will result in increased speed when processing.
The default value is On. This setting will also affect the Obscuration Tool window. |
Use the Window3D command with the SetRenderMethod option to set off screen rendering. The Az/El Mask View window must be displayed before setting off screen rendering. The WindowID of the Window3D command must be the ID of the Az/El Mask View. Use the VO_R MapID command to get the window ID of the Az/El Mask View.
